Monday Make-It: Glue Prints

 

 Glue Prints! Everyone loves glue and this project really allows creativity to flow - with simple materials and a bottle of glue! This is a great project to start today and pick up again later in the week as drying time is needed - at least overnight! The materials list contains affiliate links (thanks for your support!) to some materials.

What you'll need:

A bottle of liquid school glue

A stiff piece of card stock or mat board or cardboard

A brayer to roll the ink

A paper plate

Black waterbased printing ink

Lightweight paper white or colored to print on

Let's Make It!

1. Draw (or not!) your design on the stiff card or mat board. Squeeze out the glue to follow the lines you drew or make new ones!

2, Let dry overnight!

3. Roll out the ink on a paper plate until smooth.

4. Roll the brayer over the dried glue until the glue lines are covered.

5. Place the lightweight printing paper over the wet ink and rub the back of the paper with you hands in circular motions to pick up all the ink. Be careful not to move the paper once you have placed it or it will smudge - but sometimes that looks amazing too!  BE BRAVE!

 

6. Pull your print off and let dry for several hours. Make one for all of your friends and family! 

7/ You can add color with crayon, pastel or colored pencils as our artist in the first photo opted to do!

Spring Arrives!

With Spring, comes some new goodies here at the poor neglected blog! I'll be kicking off each month starting in June with a FREE downloadable monthly calendar page which is ready to color - just like my weekly entries in the local paper The Sound.  It's a great way to relax and enjoy a few moments (or more!) with your favorite colors and art tools.

To get the party started I am throwing an extra one out there for warm ups today- just like the one above but bigger.  To download a full size image of the above justclick here !

Additionally we are going to present a free lesson each week that you can do with a child or on your own straight from our studios here at artstream! Stay tuned for that later this week...
