Art Kit Video- Floating Cloud!

In October 2020, we created and distributed art kits to complete the following projects. Although the art kits have all been distributed, gather the list of supplies and follow the steps in the video to create this fun project.


Watch this video for a step by step demonstration to help you create a beaded floating cloud wall hanging.  See how to make your tassels, and assemble your artwork.  Learn more about the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, and the painting by Hermann Herzog titled Alpine Lake Scene by Hermann Herzog that inspired this project. 

THANK YOU for your feedback!  It is tremendously valuable for us.
