Activity 2 of our '20 gifts Under $20' series!!💰

Reminder - the only art supplies you’ll need on hand for ALL 20 gifts is:

1. All The Colours Painter’s Parcel (or kids paint of equal quality)
2. Life of Colour Paint Pens (or similar)

Gift #2 – Placements & Coasters

With your paint and paint pens already on hand, you’ll need:

MDF Placemats - $9.99

MDF Coasters - $3.99

Craft Glue - $4

Total Spend = $18

Note - We bought our placemats & coasters from Spotlight Aus.

Step 1

Prime the MDF coasters and placemats if you wish. You can do this with a mix of 20% craft glue & 80% water.

Step 2 

Use your All The Colours paints to create wonderful patterns, colour blocks and decorations. Here you can see the approach of a 3 year, 30-something-year old, and 6 year old! 

Step 3

When dry, pull out those beautiful paint pens to add extra dimension with patterns and markings. You could even use these to write messages or add illustrations!

Step 4

Pop a top coat sealer on the coasters & placements, with another generous coat of the craft glue mix. This will make sure that your pieces can be wiped down. You can apply this coat with a fine roller from your local hardware store if you don't want any brush marks to be visible.

Step 5

Once dry, wrap them up and gift them to someone super lucky!

Happy Creating!
