  • Sprinkle glue with salt as you would with glitter. Tape the paper to settle the salt into any grooves. Gently lift the paper and shake to remove the excess salt. The salt and glue should give a raised effect to your project.
    supplies for fall kids craft
  • Dip paintbrush in water and blend with watercolor paints to soften. Saturate the paintbrush with watercolor. Then, gently touch the paintbrush to the salt. The salt absorbs the color and will spread.
