Wearable Arts and Crafts for Kids

Hello fellow crafters, and welcome to my blog! Here you can find out about the cool arts and crafts that I’ve been working on and ask me questions about your own craft projects!

Did you know that art is all around you? Art doesn’t have to be a painting on your wall or a sculpture that you look at. Art can be anything! Jewelry and clothes are wearable art! Furniture and dishes are useable art! Even the fun kids activities website you’re looking at right now is digital art!

Well I decided to combine wearable art with usable (or functional) art and create an awesome crafting apron that I can wear when I’m painting. I took an ordinary brown apron and transformed it from drab to fab with some iron-on letters and a lot of glittery fabric paint just like we did for the “Save Our Planet” tote bag, Take a look!

First, I ironed on the letters:

Then I outlined the letters and made a cool pattern below it with glitter paint. After I set it aside to dry, I was good to go!

Pretty cool, huh?
