What kind of kid crafts would you try?

There are so many kid crafts ideas. You don't know which one to choose, do you?
Maybe paper mache? Or soap making? Or windowcolor? Stamping? Or anything else?

Hi, I'm Marcel and I'm 15.
I used to go to an art school, where I learned lots of arts and crafts ideas. Actually, I didn't just get the ideas, but I completed them as well.
I've made this lens to help you finding your way.
I'm going to introduce you how to make handmade kid crafts.

Windowcolor

My favorite

First, I'll explain the basics of windowcolor.

What is Windowcolor?
It is an excellent method to decorate every smooth surface. For example: (you guessed!) windows, mirrors, tiles, glasses, metals and anything else.

The windows have the advantage that the sun shines through the pictures, and then the colors come to alive.

Now back to making windowcolor motifs. Here are what you need:

* Windowcolor contour,
* Windowcolor paints,
* Transparent film (e.g.: transparent PP or PE pocket)
* Pattern (you can get one at the Symbols menu.)

My favorite paints are the Marabu fun and fancy because of their excellent quality. An other good option is Creall, because of its gorgeous colors.

The contour and the actual paint is different. The paint is transparent, but the contour isn't.

If you've decided to buy some windowcolor contour and paints, then visit my site Marcel's Kid Crafts.

So now, you know (and hopefully have) the equipments for windowcolor. Now, you probably want to make something after such a long 'chat'.

When you have everything, (contour, paint, transparent film and a pattern) then you may start.

* Put the transparent film onto the pattern,
* Paint the outlines with the contour,
* Wait until the contour dries, (approximately 1-2 hours)
* Paint the blank spaces with different colors you like,
* It will dry after 12-24 hours, (Be sure that the picture is completely dry! You can bungle you whole work, if you're impatient!)
* Simply peel off the dried picture and apply it to a smooth surface.
