Craft Supplies:
- Gray Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Glow In The Dark Puffy Paint
- Loose Craft Glitter
- Craft Scissors
- Stapler
- White Crayon or Craft Paint
- Baby Wipes
Directions:
- Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint may squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
- First fold your gray {or other dark colored} cardstock paper in half {one paper per city skyline craft}
- Unfold and squirt some paint {two-three colors} on one side of the paper {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper and not place too much down.
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper together again.
- Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
- Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your colorful nighttime sky design inside. Add glitter on top of the wet paint, if desired before the paint dries completely. Set it aside.
- Next grab your black cardstock and scissors. Cut out a skyline design {just squares and rectangles.}
- Use the white crayon or white craft paint, to draw one some windows/doors on the various buildings you just made.
- To finish the Paint Splat City Skyline craft, staple your building scene to the top of the paint splat piece. Add other embellishments you see fit {maybe even a moon in the background!}
- Then display proudly!!!
