Shiny Rainbow
After creating our One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Fishbowls last week, I have been smitten with the corn syrup paint. Every time I walk by their fishbowls, I can’t help but run my fingers on the smooth, shiny surface. So I decided we needed to make something else with corn syrup paint…and what better than a Shiny Rainbow?!?!
Here’s what you’ll need: corn syrup, paintbrushes, an ice cube tray, food coloring, white poms (which we received courtesy of CraftProjectIdeas.com), glue and white card stock.
1. Pour corn syrup into the ice cube trays and then add food coloring. I ran out of red food coloring, so I dumped some red sprinkles in the corn syrup to do the trick. It even added a bit of texture. :)
2. Encourage your child to begin painting a rainbow!
3. Let the corn syrup paint dry for several hours.
4. Gather your poms.
5. Use glue to add your white poms onto the end of a rainbow.
Look! It’s shiny even after it’s dried!
I’ve gotta try this with the corn syrup. And I think I would be able to stop running my fingers over it either. :)
You are one amazing, Mom…. thanks for the continued inspiration! I love your ideas!
Those rainbows turned out so cool! I can’t wait to try this with my boys!
I want to try this too! I used the corn syrup paint to make “stoplights” for Garrett Morgan the inventor during our Feb. African American History month, got the idea from Mailbox, I think.
Love ur website. But any other options besides using corn syrup?
