12 Paper Towel Art Projects

The humble kitchen paper towel can be a very frugal way of producing interesting artwork. We tried making some of our own artwork but I have also listed lots of great ideas from around the web for paper towel art.

1. First of all we tried using “solid” watercolours and water.

F very soon lost interest in this activity – he just didn’t get results fast enough! My mother and I both had a go (her portrait of F is below on the left and my “fireworks” on the right). My mother commented that it wasn’t a very satisfying method of painting, and she was quite right! So we moved on quite quickly.

2. Our second attempt was to draw designs on the paper towels with marker pens, then spray on water.  F quite liked spraying the water but his aim wasn’t too good so we had to assist him. 🙂 Despite his minimalist drawing, the finished artwork was still rather pretty.
