Coloring Book and Watercolor Paper Plate Craft

Hello Kitty paintingThis little project is a simple way to trace a coloring page onto a paper plate, and outline the picture with glue. After the picture is outlined with glue, it is painted with water colors. After it is dry, it is cut out and placed where all can admire.

As a plus, the picture appears magically on a piece of paper when the side of a crayon is rubbed over the paper, due to the glue having hardened into an outline of the picture. So there is actually a second craft possibility with this process.

Total Time: 30 minutes plus glue drying time

Yield: 1 picture

  3. Put coloring book page behind paper plate, and trace the image. I hold mine up to the light with one hand and trace with a pen. After I am happy with the way I traced the picture, I go over it with the black marker.

  7. Paint the picture on the plate with watercolor paint. The glue doesn't have to be dry at this point. I painted mine a minute after I put the glue on the outline. It doesn't matter if you get glue on the water color, since it turns clear when it dries.

  9. Let the plate dry. It might take a few hour or more depending on the humidity of the air.
  10. Cut around the picture with scissiors, leaving room to punch a hole in the top of the picture.
