3D Wall Art Letters (School Holiday Craft)

3D Wall Art Letters Olivia Foster NANNY SHECANDO

School holidays have arrived, and for most of us, brought rainy wet days. But even though we’ve been cooped up inside, we’ve been enjoying slow-paced mornings and action packed days.

Without having to negotiate school runs and afterschool activities, I searched for a school holiday plan that minimised the TV time, because there are only so many movies you can watch before going stir-crazy.

So whilst still feeling the effects of our chocolate comas after the Easter long weekend, I invited our school age nanny kids to get creative!

The kids decorated these 3D wall art letters to place on the windowsills in their bedrooms. This craft requires 10 mins prep, which in return bought me 40 mins of disruption free (no guarantee) washing, ironing & folding time (#nannylife), and I’m keen to share it with you!

To Make: 3D Wall Art Letters (School Holiday Craft)

3D Wall Art Name Letters What You'll Need NANNY SHECANDO
3D Wall Art Name Letters School Holiday Craft NANNY SHECANDO

Time: prep – 10 minutes, assembling – 40 minutes
Ages: School age

You’ll Need:

3D letters (paper-mache or wooden) – found in all good crafting stores; eg Spotlight/Lincraft
PVA Glue
Paint
Cotton Tips
The possibilities are endless with how creative you get with your letters – raid your craft box for rhinestones, stickers, tissue-paper, confetti, crepe paper and sequins, or experiment with fabric off cuts, foil, beads, wool, magazines etc.

To make:

1. Using paint cups, mix 1-part glue to 2-parts paint. Tip: plastic shot glasses make perfect portion sized cheap paint cups!

2. Get decorating – let your kids take it from here while you enjoy a well-deserved break. Or like me, use the moment to get the housework done!

    I love this! Super simple and something they can keep to decorate their rooms too. I’m definitely stealing this for my little guy who told me last week one of his favourite things about our holiday was doing craft lol.
    Thanks for our crafting fun activity!
