Starry Night Craft and Liquid Watercolors

I have seen a lot of blog posts about liquid watercolors, and I have been meaning to try them. I finally got around to buying some. I decided to try out the Starry Night craft project that I saw at artfulparent.com.

Supplies:
- liquid watercolors (we used blue and turquoise initially, then added in some yellow, green, and pink)
- star stickers
- salt (we used table salt and kosher salt)
- watercolor paper
- paintbrushes

First, we put the star stickers on our watercolor paper (I cut a full sheet into quarters). 

Next, we painted our paper. This is where you want to be sure your stickers are firmly on the paper before you start painting. If they aren't they will curl, and you will get paint underneath the sticker. 

Then, you add salt to your paintings and set aside to dry. As you can see, we did many paintings - some with and without stickers. The girls had a blast (and so did I)!

Once they are completely dry, you remove the stickers. In the cases where our stickers curled, we decided to leave our stickers on. Here are our completed works of art!
