Kids love to get crafty and these bright paper mache nameplates could help keep them amused for up to an hour. Plus, it’s a great first project for beginners. For this penny-pinching project, all you need is a mache shape, acrylic paint, soft brush and animal shapes. To make the decorated letters, simply paint plain mache shapes with the acrylic paint and attach some animal shapes – for a personalised sign that will cheer up any room in your home.
