DIY Tissue Paper Bleeding Art – For Beginners

 DIY Tissue Paper Bleeding Art – For Beginners



Materials

1. Tissue paper that bleeds

2. White Oil based Sharpie marker

3. Canvas board

4. Stencil

Tissue Paper Art Technique

1. Take your white Oil based Sharpie and color in your stencil onto the canvas board. It’s important you use the oil based Sharpie , since the tissue paper color will resist the Oil and the white color of the marker

It might be hard to see the white Sharpie on the white canvas board, just do your best – doesn’t have to be perfect.

2. Like in the previous project, wet your canvas lightly with water.

Take your torn up tissue paper pieces and put them on your wet canvas.

To make sure the tissue paper is evenly wet, lightly wet the top of the tissue paper once on the canvas ( with a brush or paper towel)

3. Let the tissue paper dry at least 5 Minutes ( completely dry to get the most vibrant color).

4. Once tissue is dry , peel off the tissue paper and your left with a cool tissue bleeding resist art. The pattern/ stencil work with your white Sharpie is now visible.

    DIY BEGINNER MACRAME GARLAND MATERIALS NEEDED: macrame yarn (I use this one  HERE  and  HERE ) sharp scissors (I like using haircutting scissors) wood beads (I used these  HERE  and some slightly larger ones I had, I lied alternating slightly different sizes) hair comb (if you want to brush out the edges again) INSTRUCTIONS: I made another video which you can see below and you can also follow my step-by-step instructions as described with the photos:   For my garland, I used 23 wooden beads threaded on a 10-foot piece of macrame cord.

I had to cut 132 pieces of 40-inch macrame yarn strings. Does that make ...
