Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Any small jar will do...a baby food jar or a small spice jar would work very nicely to hold your 'ink'.
Step 2
First Madeleine took her scissors and made her quill point... she just cut the straw on an angle. Snip!
Step 3
Into the end goes the feather! Maddie just put it in, but if you like you could squeeze a drop of glue into the end of the straw.
Step 4
She wanted dark red ink, so she mixed red and a bit of black washable paint, adding a little water to thin it.
Final result!
All done! So simple. She was so excited to have a new way to draw! We love discovering new ways to make lovely things.
