Make your own nighttime scene come to life with today’s Paint Splat City Skyline Silhouette kid craft idea! #gluedtomycrafts

I’ve combined my favorite “paint splat” technique with a silhouette shadow of a simple city skyline.

This DIY idea actually started as a “sunset” inspired craft, much like the beautiful sunsets we see here in Tampa, Florida. But after realizing ALL the potential colors you could throw into this craft, I decided it was better just as a skyline idea and let YOU run with your imagination on what the background is!

So what are you waiting for? Make this cool city paper scene with just some cardstock, craft paint and a little crafty imagination. You can even mimic it against what you actually see around your area at night. Maybe even make it a “craft night party” and see what everyone comes up with!

Super simple to make and I hope it inspires YOU! Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou

Paint Splat City Skyline Craft Supplies:

* Gray/Black Cardstock {you will want dark colors!}
* Tulip Glow In The Dark Puffy Paint {you will will want light colors}
* Craft Scissors
* Stapler
* White Crayon or Craft Paint/Paint Brush
* Baby Wipes for easy cleanup
optional – glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

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. Then display proudly!!!
