DAY 1

Label Collage

Color each individual label on a full sheet of white address labels in a different way. Draw designs on some labels, and cover others with single blocks of color.

To make a simple label collage, peel and stick the labels on a colorful piece of paper in any fashion, overlapping the labels if desired.

Picture Cover Art Idea: Cover a magazine picture or poster, leaving some of the picture exposed between colorful labels and completely covering other parts of the picture.

DAY 2

Painted Label Art

Note: This art idea is for groups or partners.

Each child paints, colors, or scribbles over an entire sheet of white address labels with one color.

The artists then share their labels so everyone has different colored labels with which to work.

The artists use the labels to make colorful collages.

Mosaic Idea: Cut the labels into smaller squares and create a label mosaic on drawing paper.

DAY 3

Woven Look Painting

Paint a wash of colors on a large sheet of paper. Dont worry about painting a picturesimply paint colors and shapes. Cover the paper completely.

When dry, peel and stick labels in a planned pattern, with the labels spaced out in lines and rows (or some other pattern).

The painting may resemble a weaving when viewed from a distance.

Color or decorate the labels.

DAY 4

Label Puzzle Craft

Completely cover a sturdy piece of paper or cardboard with peel-and-stick labels.

Use large labels for beginning artists, and smaller ones for more accomplished artists.

Draw a picture on the entire sheet of stickers, ignoring lines and sections.

To make a puzzle, cut the sheet apart between labels.

Reassemble the puzzle picture.

When finished, store the puzzle pieces in a resealable plastic bag, envelope, or small box.

DAY 5

Fancy Spaced-Out Labels

Draw on a full sheet of blank labels using crayons, paints, or markers. Detailed pictures or freeform designs will work equally well.

Peel off each drawn-on label, and then reassemble the labels in the same order on a piece of poster board. Leave large spaces between the labels as you put them on the poster board. These spaces will create a larger version of the original piece of art, as well as an optical illusion.

Some artists like to color or decorate between the labels; others prefer to leave the spaces untouched.
