Fingerprint Fruits and Flowers
by Amanda Formaro
What you'll need
- Empty glass jar
- Enamel paint (purple, pink, yellow)
How to make it
- First, be sure to read the instructions on the back of the enamel paint bottle.
- Be sure glass jar is clean, dry, and all labels have been completely removed.
- Have children dip their fingertips into the paint and dot onto the glass to form the petals of the flowers.
- Repeat this process to dot on the flower centers--alternate the colors (purple flower, yellow center, pink flower, purple center, etc).
- Let paint dry and cure according to directions on enamel paint bottle. This may require baking in the oven, or a longer alternative is air drying for up to three weeks before using.
