Wiggly Yarn Designs

Why

Wiggle some yarn and create a masterpiece! Make one-of-a-kind designs with your Crayola Color Wonder™ Sprayer, yarn, and your imagination.

Steps

1. Arrange several pieces of yarn and on Crayola Color Wonder™ paper. Overlap the yarn to create an interesting design.

2. Follow the directions on the Crayola Color Wonder Sprayer. Decorate the paper with different colors. Move the yarn to a different position and spray on additional color.

3. Use Crayola Glue Sticks to mount your wiggly yarn art on a construction paper frame. You could even attach yarn to your picture or hang it like fringe, much like Mexican yarn art. Your wonderful, wiggly, work is ready for the wall!

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Color Wonder™—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

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.
