 1

Unroll a section of tinfoil and measure the length of tinfoil you will
need by placing your white sheet of paper on top
Tear the tinfoil to the size that you’ll need. You can be generous
with the tinfoil. Its better that the foil is bigger than the white paper
rather than the other way around!

Now let’s get painting! Paint any design, image or picture on the
tinfoil. Use all your colourful paints you have to get a bright and
exciting result.
Fill the tinfoil with your best and most imaginative painted
creation!
 Now it’s printing time!
3 Place your white sheet
carefully on top of your
painted tinfoil design.

Gently rub your hand over

the white sheet to help get
a really good print.

Carefully and slowly lift your white

sheet of paper off the tinfoil.
Here is another example of a pattern I painted and printed using
tinfoil print

Now you can try it yourself and create some imaginative and
different creations!
