Water colours would probably work as long as you make sure the tape is pressed down firmly. My only thought would be that the water colours could seep underneath the tape, whereas acrylics are thicker so that’s less likely to happen. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try, Lynelle.

What we used is more like the weight of a cereal box or more accurately, a cake-box, Slyn. My friend gets it for me from the packaging company that she works at. Poster board would work too I imagine.

Super! Good luck, Eva!

Oh wow! Great idea, Jennifer! That’s definitely one way to make them less sticky! I’d have never thought of that. Thank you!

Another trick that might help is take the pieces of tape and stick them to your jeans before you stick them to the paper. We do this & it works fine with watercolors.

Oh yes, it’s not masking tape that you want, Eva, it’s “painters tape”. It’s usually coloured (often green), and it’s not nearly as sticky as masking tape. You can get it in the paint section at the hardware store or Walmart.

You’re welcome, Jennifer! Gosh, I feel so honoured that you’re using it for your first class! Hope you have fun with it!

It’s fun and easy, and looks really pretty too! Have fun with yours, Aisha. 🙂

Love the spin you put on yours, ladies!
