Valentine’s Day: “Tilted Painting” Napkin Rings

This idea stemmed from our daughter’s interest in experimenting with moving paper when painting- folding it together, tilting it etc.  

Materials

• Cardstock
• Napkin rings
• Liquid paint
• Glitter
• Scissors
• Hole punch
• Cord or twine
• Contact paper or laminating materials
• Smock
• Craft tray

Directions

• Don your smock.

• Put your cardstock into your craft tray.

• Put little blobs of paint onto your paper.

• “Tilt” your page (lifting one end) and watch your paint travel!

• Add some glitter if you like.

• Allow to dry overnight.

• Cut out shapes and laminate them or sandwich them in between two pieces of contact paper (sticky sides in).

• Punch two holes in each shape and secure them onto your rings with cord or twine, tying a knot and trimming off any excess.

• Add them to your Valentine’s Day meal!

Purpose
