Mattel Crafts Tissue Tones Dock Side Kit Vintage 1970 14x18 Picture Boxed

Before there were stickers and screens, kids and grown-ups made their own artwork one torn-and-glued scrap at a time. Mattel Crafts' Tissue Tones kits were part of that 1970s craft boom, turning colored tissue paper and glue into a finished picture with a stained-glass look. This Dock Side kit makes a boat-and-dock scene, a fun find for vintage toy and craft collectors, or for anyone who wants to finish a picture that has waited 55 years.
