Imagine a sheet of paper that feels like coffee-filters in texture. What can you do with it? I'm glad you asked! Cut out t-shirt shapes, spritz with water-colors and watch them flow and blend to create patterns in a tie-dye effect. Try using food colors to dye the paper various shades, then cut out flower shapes and crumple them slightly for a realistic look. Once the paper dries, embellish with markers, crayons, glitter and pipe-cleaners. Don't forget to make some green papers for the leaves. Try making some butterflies by bunching up various colored paper shapes with a clothespin. With 50 sheets, you can try it all! Great multi-purpose paper for all ages and skill levels. ~ Sara
Publisher's Description of Color Diffusing Paper (9 x 12)
Spray liquid watercolor paint or food color over fabric-like paper with interesting texture. Watch the colors flow and blend. Once the paint is dry, embellish with markers, crayons and glitter glue. Beautiful results are guaranteed! Great for all ages and skill levels!
There are a generous 48 shapes in each package of diffusing paper. There are 4 different butterflies and the sea life pack has 2 fish, a seahorse, and a turtle. Mix your colors then paint your beautiful butterflies for spring and summer or you can have a very colorful aquarium of sea life. Using water colors, washable markers and/or diluted food coloring, sprinkle with water and watch the blending of your beautiful colors!! Once your project is dry, add some glitter or use crayons, gel pens, markers or color pencils to add lines for more detail. Finished projects measure around 9.5" x 5.5". You can also discuss the process of diffusion and osmosis with your children so this could be a scientific art project. Then decorate windows and walls, notebooks or make a mobile. There are also hints and instructions included. ~ Phyllis
