THE DIRECTIONS:

First things first – the basic foundation of this craft was taking my blue cardstock and some simple white Puffy Paint {affiliate link on Amazon} 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!
