Holiday gift giving time is quickly approaching and our tough economic times make it the perfect season to let your kids make holiday gifts for your loved ones that are created from the heart, useable and inexpensive. Making gifts with your kids will not only allow you to spend quality time with them, it will also encourage their creativity and boost their self esteem. Nothing makes a child feel more self-assured than when they create a work of art! Oh, and My Art Workshop will make sure to make it FUN! So, take time out of your busy schedules, sit down together with your kids and make memories with these fun and unique gift ideas:
- Make a
stepping stone for Grandma's garden. My Art Workshop will supply all the instruction, rocks, tiles, stamps, molds and cement, you supply the hand prints (or feet prints!)
- Make a
travel mug for Dad. With all of My Art Workshop's pottery paints and porcelain pens, each mug turns out as unique as Dad's silly jokes and bed time stories.
- Make a
tie dye pillow case for a college-aged sister. Tie dye has never been easier with My Art Workshop's unique squirt bottle technique. Whether you're into swirls, or stripes, hot pink, brown or bright orange, they've got everything to make your gift the grooviest.
- Make a
mug for a teacher. Let's face it, teachers have longed for a useable gift that doesn't resemble an apple. Whether he or she is a tea drinker, a coffee drinker or just likes plain water, a hand-painted mug will be a treasured gift for years to come.
- Make a
mosaic cross for a youth pastor. "Mosaics", it can be hard to spell, but definitely not hard to make! My Art Workshop will help you turn a plain wood cross into a mosaic masterpiece. Mosaics can also be done on large ceramic tiles to use as trivets and other wood projects to match any interests!
- Make a
mosaic or painted picture frame for Mom. Got a perfect picture of a family moment, but lacking the perfect way to frame it? Designing your own picture frame to match the picture will add charm to a special moment in time.
- Tie dye a t-shirt for Aunt Sue.So what if Aunt Sue still loves being funky? Help her embrace her uniqueness with a handmade tie dye design!
- Paint a
cereal/ice cream bowl for Grandpa. Whether he's an oatmeal lover, a snacker or both, Grandpa will love having a hand printed "go to" bowl for all his eating treats!
- Paint a
dog/cat bowl for Spot. Spot will be so happy to have a new bowl for his chow. My Art Workshop has small ceramic dog bones, dog faces and cat faces to embellish the bowls and make them truly unique. And you can paint your own animal's name (whatever the crazy spelling) on the bowl!
- Paint and decorate
Christmas ornaments and decorations for your family and everyone else on your list. My Art Workshop's large selection of ornaments and decorations will finalize your holiday gift list and ensure everyone has something unique, useable and from the heart this holiday season.
