Ravel & repeat

Today's post about our latest take-home folder art project comes to you from guest author and first grader A.A.

Yesterday we made art with yarn. 


















First, draw a simple design (like a heart or a swirl or a spiral square) on a piece of paper.  Then get some cardboard and re-draw your design. 









Get some glue and trace it over your design and then put the yarn over it. 

Paint whatever color you choose (as long as it is a primary color) on the yarn.
















Do a pattern and this is how the pattern will go tint, shade, tint, shade. 

Stamp it on your envelope. 

Stamp it some more and you are done!
