Paint Splat Snowy Baby Owl – Kid Craft Idea For Winter

Dear fellow crafty friends and long time readers of mine. You should know that when an idea comes to me, I get PRETTY EXCITED and sometimes a little “obsessed” with it.

So it’s safe to say – ya’ll I’m on the roll with the paint splat ideas on Glued To My Crafts!!! I just can’t stop coming up with new ideas using this simple method!

On that note, I recently took our popular paint splat concept and changed it up a bit to make a Paint Splat Snowy Baby Owl. It’s just too cute NOT to share! Like seriously – it’s an adorable “ball of white fluff” on paper. That’s it! SO CUTE! Plus it’s the perfect DIY for the winter season!

Now are you ready to give it a try? Keep scrolling to learn the full how-to below! It’s a super quick tutorial but I know you will get the hang of it! Don’t forget to also check out the video in this very post, to help you along as well!

SNOWY BABY OWL CRAFT SUPPLIES:

For this paper and paint snowy owl craft, all I did was take some basic black cardstock and white paint {I used Tulip brand puffy paint} to make the body of the owl. Two basic supplies.

You can also add to the mix loose craft glitter, wiggle eyes, feathers etc. – whatever you want {or may have on hand} to bring it to life. You may also need some school glue to make things “stick” BUT if you work really fast, while the paint is still wet, you may be able to just lay your embellishments directly on top of the wet paint and skip the glue all together.

THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS:

Just fold your cardstock in half, open back up and squirt some white paint ON ONE SIDE before closing it up again.

Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the white paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}

Now you are ready to open it back up and see your snowy owl’s body inside. Which from there you decorate to give it a custom look!

Once finished with your paint splat snowy baby owl masterpiece, then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly! And of course – repeat as many times as you like! No two pieces will be the same and I think that’s what makes it even more fun!

NOW THAT’S A WRAP ON THIS QUICK SNOWY OWL CRAFT!
