Paint Splatter Monsters On Paper
These monsters are made out of paper and paint, making them a fun craft project for kids of all ages!
Growing up, one of my favorite things to “craft up” was Splat Monsters. It’s still a very vivid memory I have.
Back then, to make my paint splatter monster creations, all I did was take a piece of thick construction paper, folded it in half, squirted some paint in between and pressed it together to make a smashed design inside. From there, we decorated it to look like a fuzzy monster.
It wasn’t anything elaborate but I still remember doing this very craft several times in my elementary school years, to this day. Well friends – I’m bringing back this crafty idea from my childhood but “puffing” it up by adding my favorite puffy craft 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! Remember – this craft idea is great for Halloween AND Valentine’s Day for love monsters as well! Hint hint! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
