Here is a Christmas themed version of galaxy painting (see earlier posts) that I did over the weekend. First I cut a piece of white paper into thick strips. Then I wrote my friends’ names on each strip in either green or red paint. The trick to this step is to take your time and form the letters slowly or else you won’t be able to read them. Next I took the opposite paint color and painted dots in the letters to make them look like wreaths. Again this step should not be done too quickly. I then took a Q tip, dipped it in various shades of light blue paint and dabbed it around the letters to create snowflakes. After I finished painting I let it all dry overnight. The next day I took some red construction paper and cut into strips slightly bigger than the letter paintings. Then I grabbed a glue stick and glued each painting to a red strip. Lastly for a little extra decoration I glued some pre cut squares of gift wrapping above the letters without covering them. But this step could easily be omitted or you could use holiday themed stickers instead. Pieces of ribbon would also be a nice addition. And if you don’t have paint colors that resemble snow the red and green paint you used for the letters would work just as well.
Merry Christmas!
Creatively yours,
Colleen
