Styrofoam-Tray Carving Prints
Recycle some foam trays to make simple and easy, yet very effective paint prints
|
Materials Required:
Foam Trays (I used some trays that my cucumbers come on!) Sharp pencil (for carving) Scissors Paint (colour of your choice) Paint brush Paper Instructions: Using scissors, cut the back off a foam tray |
|
Front of styrofoam tray
|
Back of Styrofoam tray - use this side.
|
|
Using a sharp pencil, carve patterns or pictures into the smooth side of the foam.
Bold patterns work well. Remember that your final picture will be a mirror image of what you draw. |
|
|
Cover the "carving" with a thin layer of paint.
|
|
|
Turn over the carving onto paper and gently rub over the back of the foam to transfer th pattern to the paper.
