Who knew paper plates and paint could create such an awesome craft?! Let’s get creative and have some fun making this colorful “airplane in the sky” idea!
Craft Supplies:
- White Cardstock Paper
- Airplane Printable – on our landing page
- Large Paper Plate
- Tulip Puffy Paint {in two shades of blue}
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Embellishments
Directions:
- First fold your paper plate in half. Straight up the center.
- Unfold the paper plate and squirt some paint on one side of the plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint close to the middle of the plate.
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your piece of paper plate together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your design nicely.
- Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “blue sky” design.
- If desired, sprinkle loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
- Set aside your piece for a bit.
- Now grab your printable. Cut out ONE of the airplane shapes for your craft.
- To finish the Puffy Paint Airplane craft – glue your cardstock airplane to the center of the painted piece.
- And that’s it! Then set aside to let it dry completely before you display it proudly for ALL to see.
