smallSHOP Backyard Mural

Don't know what to do with that backyard blank wall?

Put your kids to work 

(with a little help from smallSHOP) 

and create an art installation. 

Here is one part of a project we have been working on 

with a few of our smallSHOP artists. 

I know that if I looked out and saw these in my backyard, 

they would make me smile!

The Family started a mural together and 

created an incredible background. 

We then painted boxes the sizes of the kids. 

Then traced their bodies in the pose that they wanted. 

We taped them up and then painted a background. 

This left a silhouette of the kiddos. 

Later, we added the skin tone for the face and hands. 

Next hair, clothes and special details. 

These smallSHOP artists range in age from 5-8. 

We are so proud of them!

Remember, do something creative today!

Always, 

Sage

Stroller Traffic Shout Out

Mommy-And-Me Baking

smallSHOP Art School launches in-home organic baking classes

Check out the wonderful shout out 

we got from Stroller Traffic.

Bead It Love!

Since we had so much fun with our heart crayons,

 we thought that we should 

come up with another 

Valentines Day Craft Project. 

So here you go...

BEAD IT LOVE

Here is how... 

Where to get the wired hearts 

or you can make them with a wired hanger. 

Gather your favorite beads, 

we went more global with ours,

 but a modern color scheme and pattern would look great! 

Be sure to secure with glue. 

And enjoy your homemade Valentines Decoration. 

Sweet Valentine without the SWEETS

We love these little heart crayons. 

And it seems that lately we cannot do anything over here at smallSHOP 

without some sparkles. 

So... please enjoy our sparkly crayon valentines. 

These take only about 10 minutes to prep, 15 to bake and 30 to cool. 

Great for all ages. 

Perfect weekend project. 

Finish it off with a tag and bag. 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY Y'ALL

small & MIGHTY

We are celebrating some of our little guys and gals

Top That Tree!

HGTV Star Emily Henderson and smallSHOP 

teamed up to create the perfect tree topper

for her last year Holiday Special watch the episode here. 

Or just watch the smallSHOP highlight here: 

Our only instructions were,

"I like turquoise and I do not mind birds."

Well here you go Little Miss Henderson... remember this beauty?

Silver Spray Paint

Card stock in your palette of color

Circle paper hole puncher 1 "

White Birds

White feathers

Dried flower pom pom 

Fringe yarn in your color palette

Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun

Directions: 

Spray the two floral foam 1/2's with silver spray paint 

and set aside to dry. 

Hole punch your palette of colored circles. 

Amount depending on the size of your floral foam - 

but more is better. 

Start in the center of one of the floral foam 1/2's and start sticking the circles into the foam using a circular pattern,

like a mums flower & follow up with the second 1/2. 

Hot glue the pieces together to make a sphere.

A Sweet and Happy Thanksgiving

We wish you a sweet and happy Thanksgiving. 

A big heartfelt thank you to all of our young artists. 

You impress us each art lesson with your creativity and hard work. 

Although we are the "teachers", 

you amazing little artists teach us too. 

So a BIG thank you to you. 

Enjoy your Thanksgiving Holiday and we will see you soon. 

Always, 

Sage and smallSHOP

Color Me smallSHOP

We took our designs to the local Color Me Mine. 

Many parents love the process of going to Color Me Mine, 

sitting and painting and creating a usable work of art, 

but it is what you bring home that is not always your favorite. 

Gone are the days of dog shaped piggy banks 

and your 3rd Minnie Mouse statue. 

smallSHOP decided to find a way to utilize how wonderful 

Color Me Mine can be, while creating items that 

both the kids and parents love. 

Check out our platters and plates created by 

children ages 5-13.

And the next rainy day when you are on your way...

remember what these kids made with a simple plate

and try out your own. 

Or you can of course call smallSHOP 

and we will bring everything to you

with an art teacher too!

Have a wonderful and creative day, 

Sage and smallSHOP
