Paper+Art+Projects

materials: art tissue cut into 4" squares jars of water brushes trays for discarded tissue 12x18 paper

Procedure is to place a piece of tissue paper on the 12x18 paper and brush over it with water. Wait a few seconds (I tell the kids to count to 10) and then peel the art paper off to reveal the color left behind. Tissue is laid on to create layers of color. It's pretty to leave a few pieces on and brushing with glue. Tissue may be torn by the child also. Depends on the age and ability.

materials: blown up balloons, one per child colorful art tissue torn into strips jars of watered down white glue brushes

Cover the balloon about 3/4's up with layers of colored tissue smoothed on with white glue. Put them somewhere to dry. Good luck, this is the hard part! I prop them up in wide mouth jars both to work on and to dry. When they are completely dry and hard the balloon is popped to reveal a very delicate paper "vessel".

materials: art tissue cut into equal size squares or rectangles.(about 6-8") scissors glue sticks One color of tissue is folded in halves repeatedly and notches and shapes are cut out (like paper"snowflakes") This lacy paper is laid over a brightly contrasting color and held together with careful dabs of the glue stick. Striking in a window!
