DIY garden decoration upcycling with old pictures
Are your children also incredibly creative and already have a large stack of great,self-painted picturescollected? They're too good to just lie in the cupboard and there isn't that much space on the fridge. How about you just use them and make a beautiful garden decoration with the children? Of course, you can also paint completely new pictures specifically for the project or simply use colored paper if the others are too good for you. Either way, the little ones will have a lot of fun crafting!
- Pictures
- Scissors
- Thumbtacks
- Wooden stick or wire
- optionally a hole punch
If you would like to make the garden decoration with children, first prepare the paper. Paint it however you like or cut it directly if it is already designed. You will need paper squares measuring 10 or 12 cm. Then fold each square in half diagonally once and in the other direction again. These lines should now help you when cutting. Now cut the paper along the folds, not cutting to the center, but to a distance of around 1 to 1.5 cm.
Then take one of the loose left corners and bend it to the midpoint (don't fold it!). Once you have all the corners together in the middle, punch the center point through all the layers and stick a thumbtack through the hole. Turn the pinwheel over, place the wooden stick or wire between the ends of the tack and bend around the stick. You can now display the work of art in the garden. You can make this garden decoration with children when the weather is bad or at a children's birthday party.
