Give away homemade art for Christmas?

Would you like to give away something Christmas How about a little art on the gift table?

If you do not feel financially up to the traditional art market and the new sales channels on the Internet, on which you can acquire a large selection of artistic works inexpensively, may not have really explored with self -made art ? You can't do that?

Well, even if you are not a Picasso , there are some ideas on how you can make artistic or handicraft objects yourself with which you can enjoy other people.

You can even stimulate your children to paint pictures that can be classified somewhere between art and design. Then they shouldn't be one of the parents who shy away from intervening the creativity of their children You should best give your children a connecting topic so that creations can arise that can really inspire an adult.

For example aunt Julia: she recently discovered her passion for psaligraphy and has already been hanging some extraordinary silhouette in her living room. You could encourage your children to deal with this handicraft process and z. B. to make a number of silhers' cuts that are then framed and could decorate aunt Julia's kitchen.

Depending on the kitchen equipment, you then choose colored paper and suitable frames, and your children manufacture z. B. some scissors' cuts of the most important spices and probably have a lot of fun on this new job. Or their children go under the animal painters, and exclusively with tones that move in the area from pink to wine red - this will then be a great small picture gallery for the rosé -colored bathroom of patentant Stefanie.

Adults are (unfortunately) mostly far beyond the area of ​​uninhibited and free artistic development. In other words, they only dare to give away art when an art connoisseur has assured them that the watercolor / photo pressure / lead glass work / really artistically valuable and therefore exquisite enough to be given away.

So many people would look forward to loving and tasteful handmade things! No matter whether they call art or just enjoy the eye because they have a particularly beautiful design or consist of a particularly beautiful material.

And this is exactly how you get out of the “I-True-Mich-Mich-not-art-to-make”.

They do not make art - do not raise the claim at all - but simply make something nice themselves that fits exactly with the preferences of the recipient and is therefore sure to please him and leave it to him to even call the gift as art.

The “art” can be in the beauty of the material, in the calming effect, the simple and beautiful design unfolds in repeated, or in the idea of ​​helping you to make unusual handicraft work.

You can z. B. get a unique and beautiful wool and knit a unique scarf from it, with a single flower as a pattern, the stem of which is subsequently embroidered with leaf allocation.

With correspondingly thick needles, everyone really does it. You could deal with calligraphy and give your best friend a completely new feeling of cooking by making very special stickers for your beautiful spice containers.

In the big city, you can try almost everything that could please the recipient for the purpose of making gift production, and also create a small work of art , a glass pearl, for example. Even in smaller places there are always some artists who could ask whether they can experiment with the materials used under guidance.

As long as they keep out of the area of ​​the door wreaths of art material and the like and prefer valuable materials as well as simple shapes, something is likely to arise.

With this in mind, we wish you a nice, contemplative and, above all, creative pre -Christmas season in advance!
