Tips and Tricks

Color stains can be washed out of most textiles by hand in lukewarm soapy water.
Window panes painted with finger paint should also be cleaned with lukewarm soapy water.

How it is done:

First cover the work area well, put on a painting smock or apron if necessary and prepare the work materials. Screw on the KiDS finger paints and stir briefly with a wooden stick.
Paint the palms with metallic silver using a brush and press both palms onto the paper. The palms should later represent the wings of the guardian angel and therefore point outwards slightly offset. Leave to dry briefly.
Then brush one palm with metallic pink and press it into the center, between the two silver palms. This is the body of the little angel. Next comes the head: color the ball of the hand with metallic gold and press it diagonally over the body. Finally, use metallic blue to add a few fingerprints around the head. Then the guardian angel also has a few curls. Allow everything to dry well.
In the meantime, the candle jar can be designed. Clean the glass before painting so that the paint holds better. The glass should be clean and dry. Then make fingerprints on the glass with metallic pink. Always two. Stagger them so that both fingerprints overlap in the middle to create a pretty heart. Decorate the glass with hearts as desired and allow to dry thoroughly at the end.
Once the angel has dried on the paper, you can draw on a mouth and eyes with a felt-tip pen. Next, carefully cut out the angel. When the glass is also dry, the angel can be glued to the glass. To do this, apply some glue to the pink body and stick the angel to the back of the candle jar.
