Dried beans(romano, yellow whole peas, chickpeas, white kidney beans, black eyed peas, black turtle beans)
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
Gather your supplies. All you need is a canvas, white glue, and various dried beans!
Step 2: Add the first few beans to the canvas
Add a generous amount of glue to the first part of the canvas, wherever you'd like to add your first beans.
Place your first bean in the glue and press it down to help it stick.We found it best to start in either the corner or the center of the canvas.
Add your next few beans, making your pattern as you go. We created a flower shape on the corner.
Step 3: Continue adding beans to create a pattern
Continue adding beans into the glue. Work your way along the edge of the canvas, lining up the beans neatly as you place them. Add more glue to the canvas when necessary. It's best to work in small sections so the glue doesn't dry out while you're adding beans.
Continue adding glue and pressing the beans into it, working your way towards the center of the canvas.
For our design, we created a frame where the corners match and the lines lead to a flower in the center of the canvas.
Then we added more glue and beans to the empty sections. We placed our beans randomly, but you could also place them all in the same direction.
Continue pressing the beans into the glue until you have filled the entire canvas. Allow to dry.Your bean mosaic is complete!
