Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
This is so simple to do--yet the quality of this afternoon was so special. All you need are some white flowers and some watercolors. (You could pick the flowers together or take an outing to the farmers' market!)
Step 2
As soon as we started to add color to the flowers, my daughter's face lit up. We started with a watercolor tray, but eventually pulled out the liquid watercolors to get a more vibrant effect.
Step 3
This is a good project to experiment with color mixing as well. It was fun for both of us to mix the colors right on the petals of the hydrangeas.
Step 4
Eventually rose petals from the garden were brought into the mix.
Final result!
You can use your creation for a special dinner table centerpiece. We did this and Emma was all smiles with such pride for her work!
