- optional materials – loose craft glitter

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.
