Growing up, one of my favorite things to make was Splat Monsters. It was basically a piece of thick cardstock paper you folded in half, squirted some paint in between and pressed together to make a monster design. It wasn’t anything elaborate but I still remember doing this very craft several times, to this day.

Well – I’m bringing back that idea but “puffing” it up by adding puffy paint to the mix!!!

I love the puffy paint element since it’s in it’s own squirt bottle {hello less mess for kids} and it creates a fun, shiny finish that I absolutely love!

So no need to be scared my friends!!! Find the full Puffy Paint Splat Monster tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Splat Monster Craft Supplies:

* Thick Cardstock {any color you like!}
* Tulip Puffy Paint {or any craft paint in a squirt bottle}
* Wiggle Eyes
* School Glue
optional – glitter, scissors

Directions:

* First fold your piece of cardstock in half.
* Unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the paper {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 paper.
* Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your piece of paper 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 design.
* To finish the Puffy Paint Splat Monsters – glue on wiggle eyes and cardstock facial embellishments. Then set aside to let it dry completely.
* If you like – you can also cut out the finished design and display that way.
