Directions:
- First things first – fold your white cardstock paper in half and open back up.
- Squirt a few lines of squiggles with your two-three shades of red/orange/yellow paint colors ON ONE SIDE before closing up the paper piece 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. At this point in time, you can sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
- Next up, grab your black colored cardstock and your scissors.
- Cut out a half circle for the sun’s center and then several “rays.”
- Staple that piece to your paint covered cardstock piece.
- Once finished with your custom sunset masterpiece, set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!
