How to make Salt Painted Easter Eggs!

Trace around the image on the coloring page with your craft glue. You can use any coloring page really but I have provided you with some printable Easter egg designs below.

Sprinkle the glue with your salt as you would if you were using glitter. Tap the paper to settle the salt into any grooves and gently lift the paper and shake to remove the excess salt.

Dip your paintbrush in water and then saturate the paintbrush with the desired watercolor paint of choice. Gently touch the paintbrush to the salt and the color will begin to spread.
