Your little artist became a teenager, and handicrafts have been replaced with video games, television and the Internet. There is no turning back the clock, so what a parent to do?

The only way to convince your child put the video game controller, I use things that were previously taboo (with proper supervision, of course). Oh, another thing - you can make suggestions and provide restrictions, but try to swim with the flow and let your child take over.
And now, here are some ideas to turn the wheels ...
Wall Murals - Yes, andYour teenager to spend the afternoon painting his room, but if you want to take it to the next level, follow the idea of a mural of him. Take a look at the posters and wall calendars he has chosen for his room. Maybe he has a notebook full of his original artwork. Some of these images work as a mural? You can use a projector to enlarge and trace the picture on the wall, then fill in the picture with acrylic paint of choice. Or, if your budget allows us to consider the purchaseAn airbrush starter kit to use for him - just to make sure you take the time to his art, before gun in his bedroom walls perfectly.
Curtains - Many types of tents are very easy to sew and would be a great project for a beginner. Help your child find a simple model and some fabric and see what happens. Or, consider a no-sew option if you do not have a sewing machine. For example, the purchase is sufficient to store bought curtains and let your child decorate them, or tie-dyewith fabric paint and stamps. If you have access to some basic tools of power (and experience in dealing with them) have to help your child build a cornice board, you could install on his window. You can paint or paper with a gun to protect the basic beat and fabric material.
Shelves and cabinets - While you pulled out the power tools, work with your child to build some simple shelves and cabinets. As you know, teenagers have more stuff of space, so this projectalso induce him to keep his room was! Or if you prefer to buy unfinished furniture and accessory room, and paint and let your child decorate it. If it is for him to consider borrowing a book from the library or online research to try faux finishes. You can also choose furniture and accessories to personalize their rooms with favorite pictures from magazines decoupaging.
This is just the beginning. Working with your child, you're sure to get even more with the ideas- From cushions to a collage of photos, text, there are many other crafting projects that you and your child can work together. In the process, create memories for a lifetime.
