My first craft tutorial! I'm very excited about this one :)
Just click on the link above and it shows you a super easy way to make handmade paper using items you probably already have on hand. This is a GREAT craft idea to do with the little ones to make Mother's and Father's Day cards for someone they love. I remember doing this in my 3-D art class in high school. Its very simple, messy, but most of all fun! You can use any paper you have on hand if you don't have dryer lint available (or just plain don't want to use it!) the same process applies. You will never get the same paper twice!
Mix it Up!:
- You can even add dried flowers, glitter, other color paper, food coloring, anything you can think of to the mix
- You can make the card AND the gift! Just use some cookie cutters on hand (Or go to your local craft store and get them for less than $1 a piece) and make an adorable ornament
- Add flower seeds to the mix (after you blended it) and you can make plantable cards and ornaments. Just plant the paper you made and in a few days, you can see plants growing! This makes a BEAUTIFUL party favor for weddings, bridal showers, and baby showers. Plant some love :)
huh very interesting!!! Not sure I want that in my blender haha I suppose it all washes out though :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't think of adding seeds.. that is a great idea!
