How To Make A Snowflake Salt Painting

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: You may want to practice drawing a few simple snowflake designs before drawing directly with glue. Simple lines and shapes work best for this project.
DRAW WITH GLUE: Draw a simple snowflake directly on the paper with bottled glue. Avoid using too much glue because thick lines will take longer to dry.
ADD SALT: Place the paper on a tray or old cookie sheet and generously sprinkle table salt over all of the glue lines.
COVER THE GLUE: Carefully move the salt around the paper until all of the glue lines are completely covered. Shake off the excess salt onto the tray.
ADD COLOR: Lightly dip a small brush in watercolor paint and gently touch it to the raised salt lines. Watch as the color spreads through the salt. You can also carefully add liquid watercolor with a pipette.
FINISH THE PAINTING: Continue adding colors until you are happy with your snowflake design. Let the salt painting dry completely before moving or displaying it.

Liquid watercolor will give you the most vibrant colors, but food coloring or a regular watercolor palette will also work.
You can paint the salt while the glue is still wet, but be careful not to disturb the lines.
For younger children, let the glue and salt dry before adding watercolor.
Avoid adding too much water or rubbing the salt lines with the paintbrush.
Use sturdy construction paper if you want to create your snowflake on black paper.
Try adding watercolor splatters or background painting when working on white paper.
