Tissue Paper Silhouettes

This is a great, easy project that can keep your kids busy for a little while.  And they’re even display worthy!

You’ll need:
printed outlines of the shape you want (I chose sleigh, deer and Santa hat)
glue
tissue paper
colored cardstock (trimmed to 8×10 if you’re going to frame them)

Cut out the shape and trace on the cardstock using pencil

Cut small squares of tissue paper.

Bunch up one square into a ball.

Dip it in glue and put it on the paper, repeating until the whole shape is filled in.

I made the deer, Emily did the sleigh, and Meagan did the hat.  I was actually really proud of myself for just letting them do theirs alone, and not going back in to fill gaps when they were finished 🙂

I stuck them into plain black frames and left the glass off.  Now they’re hanging by our table, and the girls are so proud that they made one!
