We were busy making lanterns yesterday in preparation for Mid-autumn Festival, using our tried-and-tested formula (click here for the tutorial):
 |
| Junior J wanted a Pooh bear lantern, as he loves the bear after reading all the Milne books. I drew the outline of the bear and balloons, and he coloured them using watercolour pencils. He then painted them over with water, while painting the sky using watercolour paints. He added the sun on his own! |
 |
| Even Lil J got to try his hand at using watercolours, and loved it! |
 |
| He decorated the back part of his lantern using washi tapes. |
So here's his finished product, just waiting for a tea-light to be placed inside on Thursday:
 |
| The back view, with all the colourful washi tapes. |
 |
| Front view, of good old Winnie the Pooh. |

ReplyDeleteGreat craft idea for kids. Love your pooh bear :) Might make some with my kids, they'd look great out in the patio with citronella candles to keep the mozzies at bay :)
