Shamrock Crayon Resist With A Twist
Shamrock crayon resist with a colorful salty twist is so fun.
We all love the crayon resist. It’s simple, fun, and yields great results. Perfect of preschool and up. Traditionally students would take their shamrock and use a crayon to color and then get watercolor set out and paint over to make the crayon markings pop.
The Twist
But here’s a little fun addition to your projects. Use colored salt to add some more fun and “texture” to the project.
How do you make colored salt?
Dyed Salt
It’s really easy. Just follow these simple steps.
Vinegar, Liquid Watercolor
Step one put a capful of vinegar and a dab of paint in a zip-top sandwich bag. Squish it around.
Step 2 Add Salt
Add salt and squish it around some more.
Step 3- Let It Dry
Lay the salt out on a tripled up paper towel. Let it dry. Done… Yep, it’s that easy.
Sprinkle On The Crayon Resist
Now you can sprinkle it on your crayon resist…. Humm, I wonder if the colored salt will make the paint turn colors???? Try it and find out.
