Cool Cut-Ups Picture Frame
Looking for a cool way to jazz up a picture frame? Decorate it with bright bits of Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ art!
1. Cover your craft area with newspaper. Use a Crayola Paint Brush and Washable Kid’s Paint to cover a paper or wood picture frame. The color will peek out between the mosaic-like tiles when you decorate the frame. Air-dry the paint.
2. To make your tiles, decorate several Crayola Color Explosion™ Papers with your Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™. Start by making a dot on the paper with a color-reveal marker. Then follow the directions in the package.
3. Use Crayola Scissors to cut the Spinner art into strips. Cut the strips into tiny pieces such as triangles and squares. This is a great way to recycle extra paper from other Spinner projects, too!
4. It’s time to tile! Glue the Color Explosion tiles to the picture frame in a mosaic style until the frame is almost covered. Fit the pieces next to each other as if you were working on a puzzle. Leave a little space between each tile so the paint peeks through. Air-dry the glue.
5. Insert a favorite picture and admire your fabulous faux-mosaic frame!
