We had a lot of fun making spin art again! Everyone Loves Spin Art and I'm sure we will revisit this activity again and again! Last time we created Valentine hearts from our spin art and this time Easter Eggs. Check out my Valentine Spin Art Tutorial here. I decided to make some garland with our spin art too:
We used our Melissa and Doug Spin Art Machine which was a Christmas gift of mine! (Not Cassie's) It is a great little machine, but uses only 4x4 inch pieces of paper. It would be neat to try out all the different Spin Art machines and see which one is the best!!!! Do you have a favorite?
We used the paint that came with the machine and some watered down liquid acrylic paint. We had a wide variety to choose from.
We tried adding paint while it was spinning. Fun! It is always amazing to watch and the best part is that it is different every time!
We tried adding paint first and then spinning too! Both ways are fun!
Here are our Spin Art masterpieces and then some! Aren't they FANTASTIC??
To make them into Easter Eggs, simply trace or draw an egg shape over your Spin Art like this and cut them out:
For Easter Egg Garland attach your eggs to yarn, string, or ribbon. We used tape on the back to attach the eggs to the yarn. They make a Gorgeous Easter decoration! Very unique too! You could also just attach each egg with a single string for an Easter Tree. I'm sure there are many possibilities!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I am always a sucker for spin art. We use a salad spinner!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful !! Yet to try this.. not sure if i should buy a salad spinner or one of the spin art machines. This one doesnt have a lid right? So how messy is it?does the paint fly all over? im concerned bcos we live in an apartment with very strict owners
ReplyDeleteThanks
