Random Quick Tip!

Turn Magazines into Art
You can make some really neat paper mosaic ornaments with your kids by cutting up several different colors of paper into about 1/4" to 1/2" pieces then applique or decoupage them onto little wood pieces that have been painted white or black. (You can use old magazines for various colors!) You can also do this with cardboard shapes as well.
