Tissue Heart Picture
Instructions for making a fun heart picture using tissue paper - submitted by H. Marie.

Materials Needed:
  • Tissue Paper
  • Glue
  • Paint Brush
  • Construction Paper

Instructions:
Cut a variety of heart shapes out of tissue paper. In a small container, mix one part glue with one part water. Use a paint blush and spread glue on a piece of white paper. Arrange the tissue paper hearts on the glue as desired. Make the hearts overlap each other! Add the glue and hearts to a small section of the white paper at a time. Once your hearts are places on the glue, add more glue as needed so the hearts are completely covered. When done, set aside and let the glue dry.

When the glue is dry, cut the white paper around the hearts. Leave about 1/4-inch of white showing around the edges. Mount your picture on black, pink, or purple paper.
