Maven of all things wonderfully crafty Maya Made is so generously sharing her really great "Portable Art Studio" tutorial. Her precise, well-written tutorial with clear pictures explains how a cardboard box can be transformed into a nifty table top easel and a milk carton made into a swell art caddy. I love that she even thinks to use recycled baby food jars as paint containers.
"My new (vintage) book contains plans for constructing a portable table top easel out of an old box. How perfect for taking out to the picnic table...I couldn't wait to try it. I also wanted to design a recycled art caddy that could tuck into the easel for storage. I used a milk carton!"
I'm so excited about this activity because we're preparing to welcome autumn by decorating our house with all sorts of kid-made art and this easel is perfect for taking it outside and painting fall nature. A wonderful upcycled activity that makes art anywhere truly possible for our little budding artists.
