Rules for Post Submission

Dear Kuhu, your decorative file covers are absolutely beautiful! The vibrant colors, creative designs, and attention to detail truly showcase your artistic talent and dedication to your school projects. I especially love the variety of materials you used to create these unique file covers, including newspaper and recycled materials.

Your artwork is a wonderful example of how DIY crafts can be both fun and environmentally friendly. By upcycling materials that might have otherwise been thrown away, you’ve not only created beautiful pieces of art but also made a positive impact on our planet.

Let’s Create Our Own Decorative File Covers!

Materials:

• Old newspapers or magazines
• Cardboard (from cereal boxes or other packaging)
• Scissors
• Glue or tape
• Paints, markers, or crayons
• Decorative items (ribbons, buttons, stickers, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Measure and Cut: Measure your file and cut a piece of cardboard slightly larger than it.

2. Create a Base: Cover the cardboard with newspaper or magazine pages using glue or tape.

3. Decorate: This is where your creativity shines! Use paints, markers, or crayons to draw designs or patterns. You can also add decorative items like ribbons, buttons, or stickers.

4. Personalize: Write the subject name or any other details on the file cover.

5. Protect: Cover your artwork with clear contact paper or laminating sheet to make it more durable.
