Birthday Parties

Stained Glass Garland, Bleeding Tissue Paper Art, and A Bouncy Ball DIY

How about some cool and colorful project ideas to start your week?

Make and Play shares how to make this stained-glass-looking
paper chain from cut up bits of colored cellophane -
it even includes some candy wrappers!

Have you used bleeding tissue paper before? This idea at Crayon
Wishes and Popsicle Dreams was an activity at a Rainbow Art
birthday party. The result makes beautiful stand-alone art but
could also be used as a layer in multi-media art.

Are you intrigued by the idea of making your own bouncy balls?
About.com shows you how to make them with borax, corn starch,
and white glue. What a fun way to introduce chemistry to kids!
