tissue paper + white glue + notecards = fun!
With a few simple materials you can make adorable thank you cards or invitations to share with your girl. Aubry and a couple of friends made some (dressed as princesses, of course!) a while ago and they became birthday cards.
Simply tear the tissue into small pieces (approximately 1/2" to 1" pieces).
Spread some glue onto the card (a 3" spot works well) and lay the tissue pieces on top, overlapping them. Once dry, spread a thin layer of glue on top of the tissue for a shiny look.
Once I took a good look at this post, I realized that Aubry is absent from the pictures (OOOPS!), but I do promise that she was present and accounted for and wearing a princess dress.
It is all about the style, you know!
Happy crafting!
I just love this idea. My little girl is only 3 and has been having fun just cutting up regular paper and gluing it onto a another sheet of paper. This looks like it would be just the perfect little project for her. Thanks

This looks like fun...for me too! I love note cards and this would be fun for us all to do :) How great would these be as a stationary gift at Christmas?!! Love this idea!

It's also fun to use clear contact paper, stick on the torn up tissue paper and then cut shapes out and hang them in the window as "sun catchers."

What a great idea. Easy to pull out when boredom strikes.
