Instructions
- Let your child help you choose their favorite 20 art pieces, and then you will choose your favorite 20 pieces. You may use a marker and label the pieces if you want, but they are beautiful as a plain picture book as well.
- Put some 8.5 by 11 inch plastic sleeves in the notebook and begin sliding the artwork into the sleeves.
- Choose the very favorite piece that can be used to slip into the front cover.
- Place smaller art pieces on top of other pieces of art, or on top of decorative paper that will serve as a backdrop matting.
- Fold larger art pieces so the nicest part of the piece is showing, or trim them to the 8.5 by 11 inch size.
- Take photos of the 3D art, print the photos off in color as 8.5 by 11 inch prints on your home printer or at a store. Slip them into the plastic sleeves as well.
- When you are done, be sure to show off the DIY Art Portfolio to Save and Share Kids Artwork. It is a great opportunity for the child to talk about what they like about the picture and how they created it!
