How to Make Spin Art

Have you made spin art yet? It’s really easy & FUN to do.

Put a piece of construction paper or a coffee filter like we did in the basket inside a salad spinner.
Add some paint.

Spin away.

Beautiful!

Here are a couple Spin Art Tips:

Lots of small blobs in the middle or drizzling it across the paper works best.
Don’t put too much paint or you’ll just end up with a big ball of paper and lots of wasted paint at the bottom.
You don’t want to spin too long or too fast or the colors completely blend. You want to do it 5-9 times slowly to create a beautiful mix of colors.
Don’t use your good salad spinner! Use one you find at a garage sale, your pitching, or you find at a dollar store.

Let your paper dry.

Spring Flower Craft for Kids

To make your spring flower craft you will need a completely dried spin art made on a coffee filter and a large straw. [You can use any straw if you use a small rubberband to hold the flower closed & on the straw]

Pinch the middle on the underside of your spin art.

Now keep twisting the bottom and ruffling in the tissue paper together so it looks like a carnation.

Here is a view from the side so you can see what the bottom looks like.

Push the twisted bottom into a large straw. Repeat with additional spin art. [alternately you can use a small rubber band to to secure the twisted part and loop around the top of the straw.]
