Black out poetry is a fun way to be creative and show off your personality. Each of us started with the same thing (text from a home decor catalog rescued from the recycle bin 🙃... swipe through to see the original!) but the results are totally unique.
1...meditative doodle... Elissa is most relaxed when doodling so naturally her poem is a combo of words and graphic pen marks.🖋
2...keep it simple... Samantha’s poem proves you don’t need to get fancy to have a successful outcome. Sometimes simple and straightforward is best!🖊
3...rainbow bright... Alia used an array of tiny masking tape to turn her blackout poem into a colorful work of art.🌈
4...shimmery sparkle... Paola let her personality shine with her favorite materials - shiny sequins, sparkly bits + bobs, and silver glitter!✨
5...cut and paste... Caroline cut the lines of text into strips and rearranged them in a new order to form her unique poem.✂️ There are no rules for black out poetry... and we can’t wait to see what you create! Collect some old magazines or catalogs and some pens (markers, tape, and/or any other crafty bits!) and tune in LIVE *tomorrow afternoon at 3* to make your very own black out poem with Alia!
