Equipment

  • white glue
  • table salt
  • watercolor paints
  • card stock

Instructions

  • Use white glue to draw a design or picture onto a piece of card stock. I like to cut small pieces that fit onto a paper plate.
  • Once you are finished with your glue drawing, liberally sprinkle salt onto the glue.
  • Gently shake off onto the paper plate and set the plate aside.
  • Place your salt covered card stock onto a flat surface covered with newspaper or wax paper.
  • Use watercolor paints to gently paint onto the salt. This is so neat to see the picture come together with lots of gorgeous colors.
  • You won't need a lot of water, but the more pigment color you have on your brush the better. Once finished, set aside to dry completely.

Notes

Salt painting is such a fun and inexpensive craft to do with the kids!
