Lay your cardstock flat on a tray (a baking pan works great) or a protected surface. This helps to keep the splatter in check.

Add your chosen paint color to the paint tray, then mix in a small amount of water to thin it out. Aim for a ratio of about 1 part paint to 2 parts water. The goal is to get the paint runny enough to move easily when you blow on it!

Use the pipette dropper to add paint blobs. Start small, then add more. It’s easy to build up as you go.

Put the straw about an inch away from a paint puddle and blow to streak the paint. Try gentle bursts and different angles to see how the lines stretch.

Once you’re happy with your design, set it flat in a clean, dry space. Give it at least an hour or more if your paint was on the thick side. You’ll know it’s ready when the paint is no longer shiny or cool to the touch anymore.
