How to Make

Firstly, print the template onto blue card or draw your own design.
Then trace the lines with clear PVA glue.
Sprinkle fine salt over the glue and gently shake off the excess.
Once the glue is completely dry, mix your watercolours so that they are watery.
Dip in a paintbrush and gently touch it to the salt that you wish to colour, the salt will soak the paint up.
Allow to dry fully before moving and displaying your artwork.
