Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
We added our liquid watercolor paints to small ramekins and watered them down with just a little water.
Step 2
Emma began folding the paper in different directions.
Step 3
We tried the accordion fold, which made a lovely stripe style dye.
Step 4
Once folded into small packages we dipped them into the paints, using several different colors on each end. This is where the experimenting fun starts.
Step 5
We unfolded the paper very gently to reveal our beautiful creations.
Final result!
Emma laid them all out to dry and used several to wrap a birthday gift. It was a lot of fun to see how each fold changed the appearance of the paper. We will be doing this again very soon.
