How to Create Grid Art Using Tissue Paper

Tools:

• tissue paper (any color is acceptable as long as there are two different colors)
• hot glue gun and glue sticks for it 
• a strong piece of paper

Steps:

1. First decide how big your columns and rows will be in order to plan out how much tissue paper you will need. (The picture above used a 30x30 unit grid system)
2. Take the two colors of tissue paper and begin break off pieces of it and rolling them into small balls. (The size of each ball is up to the creator but I broke off pieces of about 1-2 inches in length and width)
3. Begin placing the balls of tissue paper starting with your desired color and then place the other colored ball next to it.
4. Before going to the next tissue paper ball, take your glue gun and glue it to the surface of your paper at whatever point you life and persist with this for every ball that will be within your grid.
5. Continue a consistent pattern so that there is a cohesive nature within your grid as grids rely on a pattern to keep this consistency.
6. Wait for the glue to dry and eliminate any excess glue that was left from the glue gun to create the piece as clean as possible.
7. And Voila! Your grid system has been made

Tips:

• Keep in mind that these instructions can be used for any material desired such as flowers, toothpicks, any creative way to make a grid system!
• Do not overuse the glue gun as a lot more glue comes out than anticipated most of the time.
• Any form of adhesive can work to make your grid, depending on the weight of the material being used
• Have fun!!
