Art Activity Easy and Intermediate

Fun things to make and do with paper No.2 (Card making- Ripping, curling, making textures.)

All you need is coloured paper, glue, scissors and/or a craft knife and a pencil.

Tips

• If you do not have any glue at home, you can use the white of an egg instead of glue.

• If you don’t have a paintbrush to spread the egg white, you can use a piece of stiff cardboard

instead.

Paste/glue 2 sheets of

different coloured paper

together.

Fold in half to make a card. Push the pencil from the

back to the front of the card.

Grip the paper and pull downwards, stop before you

reach the bottom of your card. Try curling the paper back

with a pencil.

Push the pencil through and

leave it to look like a bullet

hole!

Why not try different patterns and

colours.

You could just have fun pushing a pencil through and listening to the sounds it makes and enjoy the lovely textures,

patterns and colours you make.

Art Activity Intermediate and Challenging

Fun things to make and do with paper No.2 (Card making- Weaving/Slit and Slot)

All you need is coloured paper, glue, a pencil, scissors or a craft knife.

Tips

• If you do not have any glue at home, you can use the white of an egg instead of glue.

• If you don’t have a paintbrush to spread the egg white, you can use a piece of

• stiff cardboard instead.

• Add sellotape to one end of strip to make it easier to push the paper through the slit.

Leave a boarder of at least 2.5cm all-round the card. Cut

along the lines with a craft knife or scissors. Ask for help

with this.

Look around

your house

for some

interesting

paper.

Cut the paper into strips,

some thin some thicker.

Intermediate level: best to

use thicker strips and stick

sellotape on one end of

each strip.

Push the paper through

a slit at one side from

the back of the card.

Work the paper in

and out of the slits. Cut off the excess strip and glue it down.

Push the next strip through from the front of the

card. Alternate pushing strips through from back

and front of card. Glue all the ends down.

Try using different

coloured card and

different

patterned paper.

You could try

weaving through

some ribbon or

wool too.
