You’ve probably never painted such a beautiful flower in such a short time!
Make your own Cotton Bud Flower Art
We show you how to make your own cotton bud flower art. Make beautiful pictures using cotton buds (an “alternative brush”).
Thanks to Cristina, who sent in this great cotton bud flower art idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
Our project today was painting flowers using cotton buds.
After using all of our toilet paper rolls and doing butterflies, fish, monsters and owls.. we needed something new to do.
And I know they love painting.
We already did the hand-prints canvas and we thought to do some flowers.
For this project you need:
– paint
– cotton buds
– elastic band
– imagination and patience
Instructions:
1. We took some cotton buds and tight the together with an elastic band.
2. Choose your paint colours, you can have 2 or 3 for the same flower.
3. Take the paper sheet and start painting.
You can do the stems and leaves first and if you have smaller toddlers you can draw with pencil the shape of flowers and they can use the cotton buds dipped in pain to do the flowers.
You put one side of the buds in a colour first and then the second end of the buds for the other colour.
Do you have any other projects planned?
We find that we did a lot more craft since in lockdown than before, we did lots of painting and activities and some outdoor activities too. Eva learned to cycle without the stabilizers too.
We did lots of baking too…
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
I am Cristina, mother of Eva 6yrs old next month and Rita 4 and half.
Has this website and community helped you?
The Housebound with Kids community on Fb helped a lot with new ideas and things to do with the kids.
You will need the following material:
- Connector paint box with opaque white
- Clic & Go water cup
- Brush
- Grip felt-tip pen
- Drawing pad
- Cotton buds
- Rubber bands
- Optional: Canvas
Step 1
Make two bundles of 10-12 cotton buds by tying them tightly together with a rubber band. Make sure the ends of the cotton buds are level.
Then mix yellow, orange and magenta with plenty of water in separate fields of the transparent paint box lid. The water ratio should be such that the cotton buds can soak up and still release colour well.
Now dip one of the two cotton bud bundles into yellow and stamp a circular flower head onto the paper.
Step 2
Now dip the other side of the cotton bud bundle into orange and dab it onto about half of the yellow. The colours should be allowed to run into each other, the effects are magical!
Now, dip the second bundle of cotton buds into magenta. Dab the colour a little more sparingly on the lower edge to create a beautiful, spatial impression of the flower.
