Tissue paper is one of my favorite art materials
ever. The non-colorfast stuff bleeds, making it perfect for printing or making
your own paints. I’ve made water colors, glitter glue and this time it’s – DIY glue
paint! This is super-simple for kids to make, but still completely creative.
Your child can mix up a batch of her own rainbow
colors to use now or make extra and save them for later.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
School glue
·
Tissue paper – Get the non-colorfast
kind. If the colors won’t bleed, this activity won’t work and your little
artists will be left with plain old glue and very soggy tissue.
·
Paintbrushes
·
Paper
·
Baby food jars (thoroughly washed and
dried) or cupcake tins
Here’s What to Do:
1. Pour
the glue into either reused baby food jars (if you’re planning on saving the
paints for later) or cupcake tins (if your child is just using them now). Fill
either choice about two-inches up with the glue.
2. Tear
up colorful tissue paper. Light colors such as pastel pink or baby blue don’t
work well. Let your child explore and experiment with colors that she likes or
let her mix and match them together to make a combination of two or more shades
of tissue. Even though the color bleeds, it won’t turn the glue the same hue as
the original paper. Red will make pink, dark green will make a moss color and
deep purple will make lilac. Your child will only need a few quarter-sized
pieces per paint color.
3. Place
the tissue into the glue (with one per jar or cupcake tin section). Give your
child a paintbrush and have her mix the paper until the color begins to run out
into the glue. The tissue will start to break down as she stirs. Leave the
teeny tiny pieces in it to give the “paint” added texture.
4. Paint!
Encourage your child to explore the colorful glue, making abstract art. Instead
of painting “something”, she can swirl the colors together, experiment by
layering the different shades on top of each other or make connecting shapes.

We've added food coloring to glue before, but never tissue paper. Neat!
