Instructions
- Clean the surface first. Make sure your clay project is free of excess dust.
- Paint glue water mixture on some of the clay to start.
- Add a square of tissue paper.
- Paint glue water on top of tissue paper.
- Continue layering tissue paper until you are satisfied.
- Optional: Paint a layer of clear coat. We used a layer of Mod Podge on top of the gloss medium to seal it.
- Let dry and enjoy.
Notes
- When doing this with children, the goal should be to try to get the tissue paper as flat as possible. We know this is hard for some kiddos.
- Try to encourage them to smooth out air bubbles without over-touching.
- Some wrinkles will still look okay as long as they don't have pieces sticking up.
- A final coat or two of mod podge can help hide imperfections.
- You can use your finger to help carefully smooth out parts that have the tissue paper wrapped around them.
