My Art Tutorials on You Tube—Faux Tie-died Paper
Making painty papers is a wonderful way to have a stash readily available when you want to work on your journal or make a new collage. Sometimes, the papers themselves provide a burst of inspiration as you combine their colors with other elements that strike your fancy. This tutorial will teach you a very easy way to imitate paper tie-dying by using folding. The possibilities are endless, they depend upon your own inspiration and creativity, the color palette that you choose, and on how you fold the paper.
Let me share this tutorial with you to get your creative juices flowing:
You will need:
* Water-based markers (I used Faber Castell but use any kind you have).
* Paper (you need pliable paper, such as thin rice paper. For experimentation, I used thin coffee, filters, you can use Deli Paper, also the kind of paper used to wrap sandwiches or parchment paper. I haven't tried tissue paper but I am not sure it would not fall apart when folded while wet.)
* Spray bottle half full with water.
Have all your materials ready on hand.
If necessary, use some plastic sheeting to protect your table.
* Step 1-
Flatten your coffee filter.
* Step 2-
Picking your own color palette, start painting the coffee filter with your markers. You can make triangles, circles, squares, stripes, zigzags, etc.
Now think of what you want to use your beautiful painty paper for!
