What You Need:

• Tissue paper (different colors)
  
  Note: Some tissue papers are non-bleeding. You want the paper that is labeled "Colors bleed when wet".
  See Here: 12" x 18" Spectra Deluxe Art Tissue Asst. (pack of 50)
  
  
• Bristol board (poster board -- thick paper)
• Glue
• Water
• Paintbrushes
• Container for water

What You Do:

1. Tear many pieces of tissue paper and put them aside.

2. Mix some water and glue (more glue-less water).

3. Brush a thin layer of the glue and water mixture over the bristol board.

4. Lay one piece of tissue paper down at a time.

5. Brush over each one with glue and water.

6. The dyes in the tissue paper will begin to run together - almost like watercolors!

7. Continue until the paper is full.

8. Display finished work.
