Bring your creative visions to life! Using salt, glue sticks, and watercolor paint, your creations will have texture and dimensions you’ve never seen before.

Supplies

·      1 bottle (4 fl oz) Elmer’s White School Glue

·      Cardstock paper

·      Iodized salt

·      Watercolor paint

·      Paint brush

·      Water

Instructions

1.    Using your Elmer’s White Glue bottle like a pen, draw a design of your choosing on a piece of cardstock paper.

2.    While the glue is still wet, sprinkle a generous amount of salt on top of your design.

3.    Once your design has been covered, tilt your paper into a gathering area to remove any excess salt.

4.    Allow the glue to dry.

5.    Once the glue has dried, the salt and glue should be hard to the touch. Use your watercolor paint and paint brush to add paint on top of the salt and bring your design to life!

6.    Hang up your creation for all to enjoy.
