Who this list is for
This watercolor salt snowflake craft is for 7-year-olds making flat winter snowflake paintings with watercolor supplies and table salt. It does not require melting, heating, or special tools.
How to use this list
Place watercolor paper on a protected work surface and use snowflake outline templates to plan the design. Trace or draw snowflakes with white school glue, then sprinkle table salt over the glue lines and shake off the extra. Once the glue design is ready, use watercolor brushes, water cups, and blue and purple liquid watercolors to add color. Finish with a white gel pen or silver glitter glue if desired.
Common mistakes
Do not flood the watercolor paper with too much water from the cups. Keep salt on the glue lines rather than covering the whole sheet. Let the glue and salt design stay flat while it dries, and do not add hanging yarn until the paper is dry enough to punch.
What is on this list
Gather four watercolor paper sheets, white school glue, one cup of table salt, and blue and purple liquid watercolors. The checklist also includes two watercolor brushes, two water cups, snowflake outline templates, a white gel pen, silver glitter glue, a hole punch, two meters of white yarn, and paper towels. Cross off what you already own.
When you are done
Leave each snowflake painting flat until dry. Punch a hole only after the paper is firm, then thread white yarn for hanging. Wipe up loose salt with paper towels before putting supplies away.
