Materials
- White school glue (easy to find)
- Coarse salt (great texture)
- Watercolor paints (choose vibrant colors)
- Paintbrushes (soft bristles work well)
- A sturdy piece of cardstock or heavy paper (to hold the design)
- Small cups or bowls (for mixing paints)
- Optional: pipette or squeeze bottle (for precise paint application)
Instructions
- Begin by drawing flower outlines on your cardstock. You can use simple shapes, allowing room for creativity.
- Apply a thin layer of white school glue over your drawn flowers. Watch as it glistens, adding a welcoming shine to your design.
- While the glue is still wet, gently sprinkle coarse salt over the flower shapes. Move slowly, making sure all the glue is covered.
- Lightly shake off the excess salt, allowing it to settle back into the bowl or container. This moment brings a sense of satisfaction as you clean your workspace.
- In small cups, mix your watercolors with a little water. Find the balance that gives you a smooth, flowing watercolor solution.
- Using a paintbrush or pipette, start adding your watercolor onto the salt. Notice how the colors spread and blend into the salt, creating beautiful patterns.
- Allow the painting to dry completely. This step requires patience, as the colors transform on the salty canvas.
- Once dry, your beautiful flower salt paintings are ready to be displayed.
