HOW TO MAKE A PAINTED NEWSPAPER SUNFLOWER CRAFT

Supplies:
– newspaper
– yellow liquid watercolors
– paintbrush
– small paper plate
– brown and green paint
– black pony beads
– cardboard
– scissors
– glue

 

 

 

Directions:
1. Start by painting your newspaper with your yellow liquid watercolors. I definitely recommend liquid watercolors for a project like this since you’ll be painting a large area. Plan on about a half sheet to a whole sheet of newspaper sheet for one flower. Let the newspaper sit for several hours until it is completely dry.

2. Paint the inside circle of your small paper plate with your brown paint. Cut out a flower stem and leaves from your cardboard and paint them with your green paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Cut a handful of yellow petals from your painted newspaper. Add glue around the inside rim of your paper plate and start to add your petals around the paper plate. We added two layers of leaves to make a fuller sunflower.

4. Add glue in the center of your sunflower and glue on black pony beads for your growing sunflower seeds.
