Paint Splat Sunsets - Kid Craft Idea

Sunset masterpieces are made with a little bit of paint and a lot of heart.

THE SUPPLIES:

  • To recreate this Paint Splat Sunset Scene, I used white, as well as black cardstock, my trusty & favorite Tulip Puffy Paint, school glue and scissors.
  • The basic foundation of this craft, was taking the white cardstock and various shades of red/yellow Puffy Paint to make the “sunset” that really sets the scene. Although I believe the Tulip brand, you can also use other craft paint for this DIY.

THE DIRECTIONS:

  • Let’s start with the sunset sky scene. Just fold your white cardstock in half, open back up and squirt a few lines of squiggles with your two-three shades of red/orange/yellow paint colors ON ONE SIDE before closing up the white 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 “sky” 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 sunset scene will be. From there you decorate it to bring it to life. So till then, set aside, to let it dry a bit.
  • Next up, grab your black colored cardstock and your scissors. Cut out a half circle for the sun’s center and then several “rays.” Glue those to your cardstock piece.
  • Once finished with your custom sunset masterpiece, 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!
