Fun for kids too! Fluid Art

Easy! Fluid Art Techniques: Fun Methods for Kids

Let’s try making an interesting piece using acrylic paints.

Put several colors of paint and liquid laundry starch (or glue) into separate paper cups and mix each well.

Then pour all the paints and starch together into one paper cup, and pour that onto drawing paper (Kent paper).

You can create a work with flowing patterns where the paints don’t fully blend.

Watching the paint flow is fascinating, making this perfect for young children’s art projects.

Because the flowing patterns are unique, you can create a one-of-a-kind, original piece.

Combining fluid art with other techniques also seems like a great way to broaden the scope of your work.

snack bag

[Candy Bag] #PreschoolGraduation #GraduationCeremony #Graduation #Gift #CandyBouquet #Snacks #Wrapping #Crafts #HandmadeGift #Kindergarten #NurserySchool #100YenShop #Daiso #Seria #CandyBag #CandyBox

Turn snacks into a memorable gift! Tape together store-bought snacks to make a bag.

Prepare snacks that come in small pouches or individual wrappers, such as hanging types.

You’ll make three parts: the box that forms the bag body, the lid, and the strap.

Create the box and lid using your favorite snack bags, matching their sizes as you go.

For the strap, fill a rolled, tube-shaped piece of clear film with individually wrapped candies, tying ribbons or similar between each candy.

When you give the gift, be sure to fill the inside of the bag with snacks, too!

Stamping

A simple, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-try technique! Stamping refers to a method where you apply ink such as paint to a stamp (a mold) and press it onto paper, fabric, and so on to transfer the pattern.

You can also use familiar materials for the molds, so it seems you can create interesting works by using recycled items like plastic bottle caps or cardboard, cross-sections of vegetables, or uniquely shaped objects.

Also, the amount of water appears to be a key point, so it’s best to adjust it as you work.

[SHEIN & 100-Yen Shop DIY] How to Make Basic Candles 🕯 Cute and Affordable Candle Making [How to Make Basic Candles]

Let’s make original candles using materials from a 100-yen shop.

Choose simple stick candles, break them, and separate the wax from the wick.

Melt an amount of wax equal to the volume of your mold.

Poke a hole in the center of the bottom of the mold with an awl, thread the wick through, and pull it out the top of the mold, keeping it upright and fixed in place.

Clamping it with chopsticks works well.

Once the mold is prepared, pour in the melted wax, and when it cools and hardens, it’s done! If you want to add color to the wax, mix in small amounts of shaved crayon.

Using essential oils to add fragrance is also recommended.

pop-up message card

[Graduation/Celebration] How to Make a Pop-Up Bouquet and Heart Message Card

If you want to express your gratitude and feelings in words, how about a message card? With this idea, you can make a gorgeous pop-up card with a bouquet that springs out.

Around the bouquet are three-dimensional hearts, which actually turn into flowers when opened! You can write a message there or attach photos.

Once you’ve made the parts, all you have to do is stick them onto the base, so think about the color scheme, design it, and finish it with heart.
