Answer 2

Little kids have fun making tattoos with the bright colors. Cut a fun shape and then wet the back of the kid's hand. Place the shape on the wet skin and have the kid practice counting. After about 15 seconds, remove the paper and behold the tattoo. These wash off pretty easily, too. If soap and water doesn't work, use rubbing alcohol to remove the remaining color. It won't sting unless the kid has a cut.

You can do a collage of various colors of tissue on waxed paper and brush over it with watered glue or with decoupage paste. Let it dry, peel off the waxed paper, then mount it between two sheet of black construction paper to make a pretty stained-glass-look picture.

Answer 3

You can make a collage with torn paper and watered down glue. You can make butterflies.....same idea as flowers. If it is the staining kind you can make a tissue paper stain...use water and wet the tissue on white paper. Also, faux stained glass. Make a snowflake, cross, other shape and put the tissue behind.

There are tons of things!

Answer 4

Cut it into geometric shapes and apply to a sheet of glass using an acrylic varnish until the glass is completely covered for a faux-stained glass panel. My art teacher in high school assigned a group of us to cover the windows in the doors of some offices at the school with this method and everyone loved it. You can do the same thing on a smaller scale on the outside of a plain clear glass vase.
