Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Paper (heavier is best)

  • Paint brush

Squeeze your glue in squiggles and swirls( or whatever shape you like) all around your paper

Shake the salt all over the glue covering it completely.  Shake off extra salt.

Get your paint brush and paints super dooper wet.

Let the tip of the paint brush drip watercolors onto the salty glue.  The colors travel through the salt!
