Summer Crafts: Printing On Tissue Paper

Printing on Tissue paper

I love tissue paper, and realized this morning that it would be great to print on, namely really for the kids to print on, as a nice little crafty activity. Afterwards of course, the tissue paper can be used for a myriad of craft projects or even as beautiful wrapping paper. I am aware that there are those who have already started to think about holiday gift giving, which is a good idea if you want to go the handmade route, so some beautiful tissue paper to cradle your gifts is certainly in order! And why not get started on that now too? Just a thought, though that’s not what I had in mind for this beautiful tissue paper. (Results to come, hopefully!)

Printing on Tissue paper polka dots

For the polka dots we used dot paints, and for the top version we used some foam stamps and acrylic paint. I have to say, my nine year old daughter didn’t love the printing, but my six year old did, so you’ll have to play it by ear, and possibly finish some of the task yourself, lucky you!
