For this activity, you will need:
4 large, colored craft sticks
A piece of yarn
A piece of deli paper (wax paper or tracing paper works, too)
Some colored tissue paper
A paint brush
Glue
Scissors
Pencil
- Lay two craft sticks on your table. Glue the piece of yarn to one end of both sticks.
- Glue the other two sticks to the first two so you make a frame. The yarn ends up sandwiched between the sticks.
- Let the glue dry completely before continuing.
- Trace your frame onto the deli paper and cut out the shape. Use a thin line of glue to glue the piece of deli paper to your frame.
- While you wait for the deli paper’s glue to dry, decide what picture you will make. You can make a design, a mosaic, a picture, or just something colorful – the choice is yours!
- Once you decide what you want to make, cut or tear your colored tissue paper into small pieces.
- Using your paint brush, brush a thin layer of glue onto the front of your framed paper. Stick small pieces of the colored tissue paper into the glue to make the design you chose.
- Once it’s dry, find a sunny window to hang it.
This is so pretty.
