Today, we're going to create some colourful and textured paper using a fun and easy technique with paint scrapers. It's simple and quick, and kids will love it! This is perfect for making unique gift wrapping paper or creative book covers.
What You'll Need:
Paper (any size)
Paint pots or dishes
Brushes
Paint Scrapers (or anything plastic, like an old credit card) (Click Here)
Apron and cover sheet (newspapers or paper towels work too)
Let's Get Started:
Pour two colours of paint into your pots.
Use a brush to spread the paint onto the paper in random patterns.
While the paint is still wet, drag your scraper across the surface to create cool textures and shapes. You can use different sides of the scraper for various effects.
Let the paper dry completely before handling. You now have a fun, colourful creation!
Tips:
Try using more than one colour for extra fun.
Less is more—don't overdo the scraping!
Keep the paint layer thin to avoid soggy paper.
This activity is a hit with children of all ages. They'll love making their own textured paper, and it's a great way to add a creative touch to school projects or gifts. Give it a go and let the kids' imaginations run wild!
