Tuesday Tutorial {spin art}

In an effort to keep the lizard & ladybug entertained 
(and to keep me sane), 
I've been collecting ideas on my Summer Fun Pinterest board.
I pinned this idea from Skip to my Lou as part of the Craft Camp series 
(there are TONS of great ideas, btw)


Spin Art
it's a simple, relatively inexpensive project and the kids really enjoyed it!

Here's what I used:
Salad Spinner (I got mine at Ikea ~$4)
acrylic paint 
paper plates (I had to cut my plates to fit the bottom of the spinner)

*once I cut the plates to size, the lizard & ladybug used the extra to make 'necklaces' -
 bonus project!!!

Put your plate/paper in the spinner and add your paint.

Put the lid on and spin...

 Now I need to come up with a fun way to display our art.
 A banner, a collage, on lightweight board??
How would you display yours?

Very cute! Could you punch holes in them and string a bunch together to make a banner?

Is the paint hard to get off your salad spinner? This is a great idea!

Have you ever heard of Social Spark? The site that finds advertisers and sponsors for your blog and pays you for sponsored posts? I think you'd be really good at writing sponsored posts! They find companies that are relative to your blog so it's not like you have to come up with something random to tie in. Check it out http://izea.in/rkiy
