Decorative wood plaques are a fun craft project for kids to decorate their rooms, give as gifts and send cheery messages on special occasions such as Easter.
Using Elmer's wood slats, kids will also need pom poms, jiggly eyes, chenille stems, foam stickers, art glaze and either tacky glue or a glue gun for this project.
Starting with the unpainted wood slat, use some of the Elmer's art glazes to add a base colour. Art glaze, available in a six pack of assorted colours, comes with a brush in the cap, which Elmer's product manager Alicia Buter says is a handy feature. One coat can be applied for a light colour, or add a second coat after it dries for more colour and sparkle.
While the art glaze dries, Buter recommends getting started on the ornamentation. For Easter, she suggests making a bunny with pom poms and jiggly eyes and adding an Easter message with fun foam letters such as "some bunny loves me". Foam stickers in pre-cut shapes can also easily be added. The peel and stick backs make them easy to use and if they aren't put in the right place the first time they can easily be peeled off and stuck down again.
To hang the plaque, a few colourful chenille stems can be twisted or braided together and glued onto the top of the plaque using tacky glue or a glue gun. Kids will want to ask for a parent's help if using hot glue.
Once the glue is dry the wood plaque is ready to hang or give away. Make one for every season!
