Make food coloring art and have fun using inexpensive materials you probably already have on hand.
Its easy for kids of all ages and the results are stunning!
Lately Ivefeltthe need to put some color on my walls.
But its hard to find art thats in my price range and personal to our family.
So how was it developed?
So I came up with this easy and colorful dip dye kids wall art project.
It was so easy to make and the results were quite stunning!
(Youll have to play around with the dye to water ratio).
The colors came out fairly vibrant this way!
Once were done, we add more water to all the ice cube holders.
Then we pop the tray into the freezer to create colorful ice cubes for later fun.
Fold the Paper Towels
Fold your paper towels before dying to create lovely, symmetric designs.
Different folding patterns will result in different designs.
We did two types of folds a rectangular style fold and a triangle style fold.
For the rectangular style fold, we simply kept folding the paper towel in half lengthwise several times.
The result was a long thin rectangle.
Then we folded that rectangle in half to get a shorter rectangle.
The result was a triangle.
Dip the Towels Into the Food Coloring
Dip your paper towels into the food coloring dye!
Once youre done dying, carefully open up the paper towels and place them on rags to dry.
(My son usedwashi tapeto tape a whole bunch to his wall.
I love that it looks like a crazy, colorful paperquilt.)
The result is quite magical!
You might want to highlight one particular design and frame it on its own.
I fell in love with a blue striped design and put it in a white frame.
Doesnt this kids wall art look lovely?
I hope you enjoy this simple and lovely child-friendly art idea.
