Craft Supplies To Make The Homemade Puffy Paint

Your kids will love this cute cupcake craft idea using puffy paint for the frosting. It’s a great art project that is simple and easy to do!

Craft Supplies:

  • White Shaving Cream
  • White School Glue
  • Food Coloring {I used a small mixture of blue & red}
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • Large, Foam Paint Brush
  • Small Bowl
  • Blank Cupcake Printable {grab the outline cupcake template on box.com}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Color Printer

Directions:

  • First download and print the cupcake template printable {or draw your own design on some cardstock} You only need ONE printable per craft.
  • In a small bowl, mix equal parts of shaving cream with white school glue. This will create a sticky frosting consistency.
  • Next, add your food coloring to get the desired “cupcake frosting” color. I added a few drops of red & blue to get a pink/purple color. Please keep in mind, that once the frosting dries, it will be a darker shade.
  • Once you have the consistency/color you like – have your child use a paint brush to fill in the cupcake part with the “frosting.”
  • To finish your puffy paint cupcake craft, sprinkle some glitter on top of the glue mixture and set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Once completely dry, add other embellishments like a button for a cherry on top or a long rectangle paper piece for a birthday candle.
  • Then display proudly!

Tools:

  • Muffin Tin or Small Ceramic Bowls
  • Foam Paint Brushes {one per color}

Supplies:

  • White Shaving Cream
  • Basic Elmer's School Glue
  • Food Coloring

Instructions:

  • First grab your choice of container, school glue and shaving cream.
  • Pour equal amounts of glue and shaving cream into the dish.
  • Now grab your foam paint brush and choice of color in food coloring.
  • Add one to two drops of the food coloring into the glue/shaving cream mixture. Just keep in mind that the puffy paint will dry a darker shade than what it is in it's "wet" state.
  • Now take your foam paint brush and start mixing everything together until it's a frosting consistency.
  • And that's basically it! You are ready to use it as paint.
  • Now repeat the above steps for each color you want to make today.
  • As a fun craft idea, you can cut a large paper plate in half and use your newly made puffy paint to make a rainbow design.
  • When done "painting" with your paint, simply set aside your artwork piece to allow it to dry completely.
  • Unfortunately the paint can't be stored after it's made but you should be able to rinse it out off the container easily with a little dish soap and warm water.
