Summary of Christmas Salt Painting:
Christmas salt painting is a festive craft that combines glue, salt, and watercolor to create shimmering holiday designs. Common designs include snowflakes, Christmas trees, ornaments, and other holiday symbols. The salt absorbs the watercolor, creating a unique and vibrant texture that sparkles in the light.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Gather Materials:
- Heavy white paper or cardstock (to handle the glue and salt).
- White school glue (liquid glue works best).
- Table salt.
- Watercolors or liquid food coloring.
- Paintbrushes or droppers.
- Pencil (optional, for tracing designs).
Create Your Design:
- Sketch a simple Christmas-themed design on the paper (such as a snowflake, tree, or ornament) or work freehand if preferred.
- Trace over the lines with the white glue, making sure to use enough glue so the salt will adhere well.
Add the Salt:
- Generously sprinkle salt over the glue lines while it’s still wet.
- Tap off the excess salt into a container to avoid mess and reuse it.
Add Color:
- Load a paintbrush with a small amount of water and watercolor or a drop of food coloring.
- Gently touch the salt with the brush, allowing the color to spread along the salt lines.
- Continue adding colors as desired, being careful not to over-saturate.
Drying:
- Allow the painting to dry completely without moving it to avoid disturbing the salt.
Display:
- Once dry, the painting will have a textured, sparkly appearance that makes for a perfect Christmas decoration.
