Crinkles & Cracks Wallhanging
Ready to add some pizzazz to your room? This fake-batik wallhanging has rich color and texture—yet it’s made with a recycled grocery bag!
1. Batik is a traditional wax-resist art technique. This simple wallhanging avoids the mess of melted wax. The wallhanging may be fake, but it’s just as colorful and fun to make!
2. Draw your design on a paper grocery bag with Crayola Twistables®. Apply the color in thick layers. Scrunch up the paper to make crinkles. Smooth out the paper.
3. Cover your craft area with newspaper. With a brush, spread Crayola Watercolors over your drawing. The paint settles into the cracks, so the cracks show up well in your picture. Air-dry your faux-batik wallhanging.
4. Cut ribbon or crepe paper streamers with Crayola Scissors and attach them to your art with a Crayola Glue Stick. To hang, punch holes in the top of the paper bag and thread with ribbon.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
