Fork Painted Flower Cards

PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

Turn ordinary plasticware into your “paint brush” with today’s Painted Flower Cards kid craft idea! #gluedtomycrafts

We’re turning a popular and super easy “stamping” technique into a handmade card form, perfect for spring AND the upcoming Mother’s Day holiday!

Fork Painted Flower Cards

Flower Cards Made Using A Plastic Fork

With the supplies being super simple and rather inexpensive, this DIY Fork Painted Flower Card idea is sure to be a big hit beyond this season!

You can also try this fork painting technique on a plain white canvas, t-shirts and even just on plain paper to pass the time. But since I’m about “two folding” things, I decided to take this awesome paint technique and make handmade cards that can be admired by the lucky receivers for years to come!

So don’t delay – get the kids {and adults} involved and make some extra special #happymail to send to someone you love today! Maybe they just need some “flowers” for a little pick me up! Happy crafting and blossoming those creative juices!

Card Supplies:

Directions:

  • First things first – trim down a sheet of white cardstock to fit to the front of your card front. This will be where you stamp your flowers. You can use scissors or a paper trimmer for this step. You will want the white cardstock piece to be slightly smaller than the folded card, so you have some color around the edges.
  • Glue the freshly cut piece to the card front. Repeat for each card you are making today.
  • Next grab your paper plate and craft paint.
  • Squirt the various colors on the plate.
  • Grab your forks and lay one in each paint color choice.
  • One by one, holding it by the handle, carefully move your fork around in your paint choice, until the bottom of the fork has a good layer of paint on it.
  • Now lift it up and press the fork in the center of the white cardstock to make the “flower” top part {just like a stamp – rock it gently back & forth!}
  • Repeat this technique various times to make several flowers on your paper card.
  • If desired, sprinkle some glitter on top of the wet paint.
  • Once done, set aside your printed piece to let it dry completely.
  • While you are waiting for the paint to dry, go ahead and clean off your forks with soap and water {or throw them away if you like!}
  • Next take your green sharpie marker and draw “flower stems” coming from the stamped fork marks.
  • Finish off your Flower Cards by gluing on other embellishments you see fit.
  • Then write a sweet message on the inside, before mailing away!
