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 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!
All I did was take some basic black cardstock and white paint to make the body of the owl. 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!
You can take cardstock pieces, glitter, wiggle eyes, feathers etc. – whatever you want to bring it to life. You may need 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.
Once finished with your snowy 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!
If this is something you want to do with your child today, DO IT! And if you like it, be sure to also head on over to my blog post titled “Paint Splat Monsters” and follow the full tutorial from there as well. It’s just like this post but monsters instead!
So what are you waiting for?! Let the fun begin! Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou
