Here we go!
This is what you want to happen on your paper towel – pretty water colour dabs that spread – you can be cheeky and put a piece of paper towel on top of another and then you will have two butterflies painted at the same time as the paint will bleed through :o}
While they are drying – paint some clothes pegs with the watercolour too. I have seen normal pegs used for the middles and they work just as well, we just happened to have lots of these doll clothes pegs in the cupboard :o}
While the paper towel is still a little damp (but not too wet), crinkle it up in the middle (it’s a bit easier when it’s a bit damp as the paper towel is softer) and then pop the peg on. Fluff out the wings and then allow to dry fully. Then hang because they’re beautiful! They look gorgeous in our little space.
My little one would love this. Thanks for sharing the idea.
Great idea my 2 year old will love having a go of this.
