Marble run painting from Art Attack!

You will need:

• Cardboard box lid or old tray
• Poster paint
• Marbles

For this you'll need a cardboard box lid or an old tray.

Cut some paper so that it fits comfortably inside the lid or tray.

Now squeeze some poster paint, straight from the bottle, onto the paper.

Use whichever colours you like.

Then take a couple of marbles and place them on the tray. All you have to do now is gently rock the tray from side to side.



The marbles will roll through the paint and create a picture!

You can change the effect according to which way to apply the paint.

Try it yourself!

How to make paper mache

Things You'll Need:

• Water
• White glue
  
• Newspaper strips
• Paints and brushes
• Balloon

Paper mache paste:
three parts white glue mixed with one part water.

Instructions:

1. Blow up the balloon and tie it closed. Experiment with other material such as cups, bottles,etc to form your preferred shape. For this instruction, we will just be using a balloon.

2. Work with one strip of paper at a time, dip the paper into the glue and get it well saturated on both sides. Remove the excess glue with your fingers and place the strip on your balloon, smoothing with your hands. Do this gently so as not to tear the paper.

3. Continue adding the strips of paper to the form, overlapping them as you go. When the balloon is completely covered with paper strips, set it aside to let the glue dry.

4. Repeat steps two and three at least two more times, so you have at least three layers of paper on your balloon. Allow the glue to dry for 24 hours between each layer. Keep going until you have your desired thickness of paper mache.

5. Once you've finished the layering and the glue is completely dry, paint your figure with the poster paint and brushes. Set the project aside once more so the paint can dry, and then add decorative touches with the crepe paper, beads, glitter or other items if desired. You may now let the air out of your balloon about this time.

6. If you wish to hang your creation, use a strong needle and fishing line to punch small holes at the top for hanging.
