| Step 6 Using fingers, begin to dab the colors onto the paper. Go ahead and dab over the bridge. |
| Step 7 Encourage children to cover their entire sheet of paper, It will create a more dramatic effect when the tape is removed. |
| Step 8 Time to let your project dry. |
| Step 9 When it's dry remove the tape carefully and slowly. |
| Step 10 Be careful as you pull the tape, you will start to see the shape of the bridge. |
| Step 11 I didn't wait long enough and the tape began to pull up the paper as well. It's okay, still looks great, but not as crisp. |
