Bean Art

Have lots of fun creating works of art using different kinds of beans. Use different colored beans to produce wonderful and exciting effects. 

Materials Needed:

A Piece of Card board (You may use paper, but you must consider that the more beans you use the heavier your project becomes)

Beans (lots and lots of beans. For this project I used a combination of green mongo beans and white kidney beans. However, you could use other varieties such as red beans and even corn.)

Crafts glue

Yarn

Shaped Rubber bands

Markers

Procedure:

1. Design  a pattern for your artwork. You could used shaped rubber bands, draw shapes and use yarns as borders. I suggest you use borders to keep the seeds in place. However, you could just draw the shapes and highlight the borders using markers.

2. Populate the shapes using your beans and glue. Experiment with different colored and shaped beans for effect. Just remember the more beans you use the heavier your artwork becomes.

3. Let your glue dry and settle. You could also color beans to produce a more colorful effect.

4. Congratulations your done...
