Tissue Paper Mandalas


This is a great meditative art directive.  
1. Have a variety of colored tissue paper.
2. Print out an image of any kind.  I chose a mandala image for this project.












3. Have a larger piece of paper to cut out and glue down your image.  I only do this to give myself a bigger area to work with and to give extra support for the picture to hold the weight of the tissue paper.  If you print the image on a heavy grade paper then you don't need to paste it down on another larger piece.










4. Start ripping up your first color of tissue paper into small 1 inch x 1 inch squares or larger if you want larger size tissue balls.
5. Take one of the squares and roll it into a small ball and glue it down in the place you want.










6.  Continue this with different colors and start to fill in the entire image with the small tissue balls until you are completed.
