Bottle Glow Stick. Not martha - to make: papier-mache easter eggs. For Easter I made papier-mache polka dotted eggs.
I created them using small water balloons and tissue paper then I filled them with candy and toys and sealed them shut. The egg can hold a surprising amount of candy and the tissue paper seems delicate making for a delightfully heavy and yet fragile object, much like real egg. Also like a real egg you have to break the shell to get at what’s inside. I like things you have to destroy to open. You’ll need: water balloons (they make the egg-iest shape)white tissue paper (one sheet will make about three eggs)colorful tissue paper (one sheet will make many eggs, so you don’t need much)a 3/4 inch hole puncha paint brush you don’t care much aboutliquid laundry starcha sturdy shot glass to hold your egg while you’re working with ita way to hang the balloons to dryenough time to let these dry overnight, and a few hours to let them dry after filling and sealing them (you’ve been warned) Note: I tried a few variations on the starch.

Mod Podge and food Coloring make beautiful reuse music together. I am loving the pastel colors of these spring time lanterns - a little reuse project I have been playing around with lately!
The secret to all these lovely colors! Mod Podge colored with a bit of food coloring! I had a couple little stamped jars on hand and I got to thinking, if I colored them, they would probably resemble some of the vintage glass pieces that belonged to my great grandmother. So pretty on a spring brunch table set with vintage glass dishes. I wasn't sure whether to use acrylic paint or food coloring so I tested both. I tried out red acrylic paint first, adding just a tiny bit to a brush full (about 2 teaspoons) of Mod Podge. Hummmmm... not too crazy about the brush strokes. Maybe a bit of bubble wrap would add a more even texture. Y-U-C-K Not at all what I was looking for! Now to test the food coloring. I followed the same procedure as I did with the red, brushing it on then using bubble wrap to create texture. Owls, Foil, Glue, and Shoe Polish. (original artwork by David, grade 5) Art Club, Grades 1-6 This is one of my all-time favorite projects.
The technique has been around for years, and I've loved using it several times with my students. This time around, our art is of owls and leaves. We first planned our compositions, paying attention to all of the positive and negative spaces. 1. **I've noticed on Pinterest some people think we used coloring book images. 2. 6. 7. Once you've filled all of the spaces, rub over the whole thing with black shoe polish, wait a few seconds, and wipe off. A couple of you have commented on the color- the results will be an aged silver metal look, something along the color lines of pewter.
Yes. When I was hanging these up, parents, teachers, and kids all stopped to ask about them- I love being able to tell my Art Club artists how much people enjoy their art work! Play Create Explore: Marble Painting.
