Making beautiful paper for cards
When you're invited to a birthday party, what's the first thing you think of besides the gift? Of course, about a beautiful postcard. Special attention is often paid to the choice of postcard. I want it to be not just beautiful, but also cheerful, suitable for the character of the person who will receive it. Today I will tell you how to make an unusual, cheerful paper for a card from a simple white sheet. After doing this experiment, you can safely experiment with colors and make paper that suits the taste of the person to whom you want to give the card.
You will need:
- Small disposable cups;
- White sheets of paper. I do not recommend using copier paper. It becomes wavy from the water, but we don’t need that;
- Any colors. I use watercolor, I love its delicate shades. If you use, for example, gouache, the colors will be more vibrant. Here the choice of paint depends on your taste;
- A jar of soapy water.Water can be made by adding a little detergent, liquid soap or shampoo to a jar and mixing the contents well;
- Brush;
- A straw for cocktails.
The first thing we need to do is soapy water. We need very little of it, literally a third of a small jar.
Pour water into glasses. Pour water into the glass to a level no thicker than one finger, otherwise you will have to spend a lot of paint to get the desired result. Use a brush to pick up the desired color and wash it off in a glass of water. We do it there until the water turns a bright color, like paint in a container.
We take a tube, insert it into a glass and blow air into it. You should get some nice soap bubbles. Blow into the cup until the bubbles reach the edge of the cup and begin to come out.
Take a sheet of paper and place it on the glass. It turns out to be such funny scams.
We do the same with the rest of the glasses with colored water.
We apply the sheet in unpainted places and get a rainbow of colors.
Sheets can be painted with all colors at once. In this case, keep an eye on it. To prevent dirt from appearing - “painting” of color. Then the paper will not be beautiful, it will become colorful, but “dirty” - this is not attractive.
You can also paint the sheet exclusively with one color. This is perfect for cards with wishes for guests of a party or any other occasion.
