Directions:

Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
First fold your paper plate in half {one per moon craft you want to make.}
Unfold and squirt some black/silver/gold paint on one side of the paper plate {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 plate and not place too much down.
Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate 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 “marbled moon” design inside. Sprinkle some glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint if desired to create more texture.
To finish the Paint Splatter Moon craft – add your space themed stickers on top.
Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.

You can also do this concept with plain cardstock paper as well. Just fold thick cardstock paper in half and follow the steps above, just the same. Then you can call it a “galaxy” instead!
