Recipe for Fun!
STEP 1: Depending upon the age of the artist, help them draw a large design on the construction paper.
STEP 2: Lay out the ripped pieces of tissue paper onto the design drawn on the construction paper.
STEP 3: Add water to the liquid glue – approximately ¾ glue and ¼ water and mix with a paintbrush.
Tip: Too much water may rip the paper so add a little at a time. If the glue feels too watery, add a little more glue and mix.
STEP 4: Demonstrate how to lay one piece of tissue paper on the design and “paint” over it with the glue/water solution.
STEP 5: Call out how the colors change as more layers are added.
STEP 6: Let the project design dry completely.
STEP 7: Once dry, cut out the design.
STEP 8: Decorate or gift to a friend or family member.
