😃✨ Sculpture Challenge - 2nd Update:

If your child would love to make one with us, please book their place before Wednesday evening.

The 1st coat on my wire sculpture is fully dry! 🖌️

The 2nd coat went on much faster because the PVA and white acrylic mix already sealed the tiny holes, and the tights stretched taut as they dried.

Tip: Lighter-coloured tights make coverage quicker, but I’m just using what I had to hand! 😊 I might just need a quick 3rd base coat for the ultimate blank canvas before painting.

Stay tuned for the next instalment from Smile Creative Crafts .

Happy crafting - keep smiling 😃✨

😃✨ NEW PROJECT ALERT: Smiles 3-Week Sculpture Challenge! ✨

Over the next three weeks at Smile Creative Crafts 🎉 Smiles Home-Ed Sessions (5-11) plus 🎒🎨 Smiles After-School Craft Club (5-14), we’re transforming simple wire frames and tights into stunning, free-form wavy sculptures! 🌀🎨

The journey: Build the wire structure, prime the fabric, and paint your very own colourful design straight onto the hardened shell.

While coats dry, we won't waste a minute—we'll dive into paper crafts and textile art too!

Led by Susan (experienced educator & former Headteacher with 30+ years of teaching), these sessions help children unwind, have fun and bring their imaginations to life. 🎨🧶🫟
