Petit Collage with KIDS!

A couple weeks ago I shared a fun project on Design Dazzle as part of their "100 Ideas of Christmas Wonderful" series. And, I just couldn't let Christmas pass without sharing it with you too!

Of course, you know my obsession with thrifted frames. There's so many possiblities...and even better, you can buy them for next to nothing! 

Using adhesive spray, I glued newspaper themed wrapping paper to the front of the frame. (Note: I found this particular wrapping paper in the dollar bins at Target just a couple months ago.)

Next, I hand drew a simple tree on cardstock and cut it out. (One extra...just in case.)

I gathered up a few old magazines and cut out various sizes of strips of green. (You may already know, my child is 2, but if you have an older one, I'm sure they could do this step!)

Lastly, Ross glued...and glued...and glued...

Once she finished, we glued the tree to the thrifted frame...

We're pretty excited about it. It made me realize how often I take this time for granted...and how I should be doing more of these kinds of projects! This time passes by so quickly...
