Mixed Media Paint Splat Sunny Day - Kid Craft Idea

Paint Splatter Sunny Day Craft

It’s been a BIT rainy here in Tampa, Florida as of late BUT we are bringing our own sunshine to the party today! Today on Glued To My Crafts we are sharing our Mixed Media Sunny Day Scene that has a hint of our popular paint splat technique in it, to create an awesome “cloud” effect on paper!

Overall this mixed media sunny day kid craft idea is sure to beat those pesky boredom blues this summer break!

To complete this sunshine craft you will need some cardstock paper, yellow cupcake liners and our favorite brand of white puffy paint. That’s it! Three simple materials that you can use to create “sunshine on paper” with just a matter of a drizzle of Tulip brand craft paint and a few paper embellishments!

This fast paced DIY is super simple, really inexpensive and “oh so fun” to spread cheer in your home! All skill levels are welcomed here! So don’t delay – get the kids {and adults} involved and make some extra special sunshine! Maybe they just need some sunshine for a little pick me up! Keep scrolling for more details on the how-to!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your paint splat sunny day creations, on our Facebook page wall, so we can admire your sunshine artwork from a far! I can’t wait to see your rays of sunshine pop from the paper! #gluedtomycrafts

Mixed Media Paint Splat Sunny Day - Kid Craft Idea

Looking for something fun to do with your kids? This easy and creative kids craft is perfect for summer break. With just a few supplies, you can help your kids create a work of art that will keep them entertained for hours. So get out the paint and have some fun!

CRAFT SUPPLIES:

  • To recreate this paint splat sunny craft, I used blue cardstock, my trusty & favorite Tulip Puffy Paint {in white} a yellow cupcake liner, yellow cardstock, scissors and a glue stuck.
  • You can of course, substitute and swap things out as you please!

THE DIRECTIONS:

  • First things first – the basic foundation of this craft was taking my blue cardstock and some simple white Puffy Paint to make the “clouds” behind the cupcake liner sun. This, I believe, really sets the scene. {Although I believe wholeheartedly in the Tulip brand, you can also use other craft paint for this DIY. And if the paint splat step is too much for you, skip my suggested step and instead draw on wavy lines with some basic white paint instead!}
  • So… making the puffy cloud scene. Just fold your blue cardstock in half, open back up and squirt a few lines of white paint squiggles with ON ONE SIDE before closing up the cardstock again.
  • Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paint around inside, so it makes a fun symmetrical “cloud” 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 the BEGINNING of what your sunny day scene will be. From there you decorate it with one yellow cupcake liner for the sun.
  • So next up, grab a large yellow cupcake liner. Flatten it with your hands. Add some glue to the back of it and secure to your cloud piece. Now grab some yellow cardstock and scissors. Cut out some sunshine “rays” and glue them to the decorated piece as well.
  • Once finished, add any other embellishments you like {maybe add a smile to the sun!} 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!
