DIRECTIONS:
Click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above for the downloadable parrot line art.
- Print out the parrot template & use scissors to rough cut the pattern. Tape the two pieces together.
- Use painter's tape to gently tack the parrot line art to the front of the black sticky foam sheet. If you use 9" x 12" foam sheets, temporarily tape two together to make a 16" x 12" surface. The tape, glue & tissue applied in the next step will hold the foam pieces together in the finished piece.
- Use an x-Acto® knife to cut out the interior shapes first & then cut the outside outline.
- Turn the foam over & peel to reveal the sticky back.
- Working from the reverse, add tissue paper torn or cut into various "feather" shapes. Remember to look at how new colors are made through color mixing.
- Use glue or glue stick to add layers of tissue paper that do not touch the foam adhesive.
- Hole punch & add string or yarn for hanging.
- Display in a sunny spot.
JOANN HACKS:
- Add additional tissue paper "feathers" to the front.
- Try gently curling some tissue paper for added dimension.
- Tacky glue is kid-friendly but takes time to dry—be patient.
