DIY Gift Toppers That Wow

DIY Gift Toppers
And the best part? It's simple enough to MAKE with kids this holiday season!

DIY Gift Toppers

Step 1: Step up your 2.0 Cheeks Brand craft mat by placing paint brushes in the clean cup attachments (to the right) and water in the dirty cup (to the left). Then add desired arcylic paint to the pallet and setup your first wooden piece

Step 2: For 3D wooden pieces such as the Tree here. I used gaffer tape in the shape of a "triangle" around its base to help stay in place for my youngest for when she goes to paint.

Step 4: Next, we let our painted pieces sit for about 20 minutes (with the fire place on) and then used glitter glue and another clean paint brush from the clean cup attachments for really MAKING our painted shapes shimmer.

Step 5: As the glitter glue drys, detach and rinse all add-on magnetic pieces leaving your base of the 2.0 craft mat for the final MAKING step. Done by "you!" The parent.

Step 6: Glue gun the top of a clothes pin and then secularly press the decorated wooden shape on.

Step 7: Once dry, we could then add clip on our DIY gift toppers to the center part of each bow for a few packages I wrapped this past week.

That's it!

All supplies you’ll need to MAKE these:

Acrylic Paints (this my fav first set to recommend!)
Painting Smock (for kids)
2.0 Cheeks Craft Mat (New design allows you to take off the attachments)
Gaffer Tape (for 3D pieces)
Glue + Glue Gun

Not only are these super fun for kids to paint though I love that we turned them into useful "wow" accents to our gifts this year for family and friends. Duo craft activity x gift. Win-win!

Happy MAKING! I can't wait to see your pretty presents all dressed up

Warmly, Steph
