ILHOUETTE

ICTURE

For our Kids Page, we have a beautiful Eid card that kids can

make to give to family and members. It is easy project that

kids can complete by themselves. All you need some paint,

cards, and a black marker pen. Everyone will love to receive a

wonderful, handmade card such as this one.

This is a simple technique for children to master but the result

is an Eid silhouette pic-

ture. Use for a special Eid

card, or put your picture

on display.

You will need:

2 primary colors of paint

(we have used blue and

yellow, but red and yel-

low looks good too). Card and Black marker pen.

Instructions:

Using your darkest colour (blue for us) paint the bottom half of

the card. Mix a small amount of the second paint colour into

the first and paint a bit further up the card. Repeat and keep

going until the card is covered.

Leave to dry.

With your marker pen, draw an outline of a skyline with

mosques (masjids). Colour under the line black.

To finish, add a crescent moon and star. This technique would

make a lovely Eid card, or you could frame your picture for

display each year.
