I bought some bleeding tissue paper (the colors bleed, we’re not doing Dexter crafts over here) awhile ago for Kate to play with and then I forgot about it. Today she really wanted to do a project (not coloring or stickers!) and I found it in the cabinet as I was poking around for something new to craft with. 🙂
First we practiced cutting the tissue paper.
Kate really likes to cut things. I’m *really* hoping that this never translates into her trying to cut her own hair.
Then we put the tissue paper on some water color paper and tried brushing it with water to get the colors to bleed. To say that it was unimpressive would be an understatement.
I figured that maybe we could try some decoupage next so I put some glue into our water. Umm… glue doesn’t dissolve.
Mod Podge to the rescue!
Kate had a lot of fun with this project and we got to talk a little bit about color theory (yellow and blue make green etc.)
