Bead Painting

Mardis Gras Bead Painting

Emily got some Mardis Gras beads at a block party over the summer. She enjoys playing dress up and putting them on. The other night when I was thinking about what we were going to do today I thought they would make a very interesting way of painting. Sure enough we had a blast painting with the beads, dropping the beads on the paper and just rubbing them around.

This one we did together on really big paper because it looked like so much fun I wanted to do it too!!
