Crafting Your Spooky Silhouettes!
Materials:
- Heavy duty paper (for the base of your craft)
-
Various different colors of bleeding tissue paper, cut into small squares
-
A spray bottle (we have a continuous spray one that my kids LOVE!)
-
A tray (a cookie sheet with edges works just fine)
-
Either pre-cut shapes or construction paper to cut out shapes of your own
-
Glue stick
Instructions:
Step 1 Place the paper inside the tray and spray down. You will want your water bottle to be on mist mode. Make sure it’s nice and damp.
Step 2 Add pieces of tissue paper all over the wet paper. You want them to stick, so if they’re not, spray the paper down more. Overlapping colors will give you a really neat effect, so don’t be afraid to let your kid go to town!
Step 3 Once you have all of your tissue paper laid down, spray down again.
Step 4 After everything has had a chance to dry, peel off the dried tissue paper (it is oddly satisfying) and throw it away.
Step 5 Cut out a figure from your construction paper- the simpler the figure is, the better it looks. Cookie cutters make great stencils if you don’t have pre-cut shapes.
Step 6 Glue on the cut out, and hang up your masterpiece!
