Artwork - tissue paper craft

Updated: Jun 6, 2020

Easy, impressive, time consuming and engaging artwork for lil Bubu's.



Bubu is obsessed with these!

It started like a one off project but my Bubu is obsessed with it. All you need is a couple of items. This one is very engaging and has variety of activities. Like you need to roll tissue paper into balls and then stick them. It keeps my Bubu engaged for hours somedays. We make large art pieces, so it may take a few days to complete the project. He makes all decisions like what's the subject, the colors he will use. I literally just draw and help apply the glue. Everything else is him. They turn into really impressive artwork, I still cannot believe my 2.10 year old did these.


Let's make it

You will need

  1. Tissue paper

  2. Poster paper

  3. Glue

  4. permanent marker


Process

  • Draw a outline of the subject you and Bubu chose

  • Cut the tissue in 2 inch squares. We used to hand tear this initially for a few projects, until Bubu was into doing it. Later I switched to cutting it with scissors.

  • Crumple the tissue to form uneven, organic balls

  • Spread glue on your drawn design

  • Stick the tissue balls

Ta da done! So pouffy and pretty.


Update: 8 May 2020, Bubu is obsessed with these, he has been making them for the last 2 months we have made endless projects. And I am sure there are loads more to make.


Update: 31 May, 2020. As predicted, some more got added this month.
