We want to break the traditional when it comes to crafting! Check out our Paint Splat Kid Craft Roundup below!

At Glued To My Crafts, we LOVE making Paint Splatter Crafts! It takes us back to our “younger days” when we use to squirt paint on a piece of paper, fold it in half and open it back up to see a symmetrical masterpiece inside. Now I’ve “upgraded” the paint element from back in the day and have found a LOVE of tulip puffy paint on paper. It’s a game changer for sure!
