Paint Splatter Fireworks Scene Craft Idea

This crafty mixed media fireworks art scene is perfect for the younger kids in your home to make! No two finished pieces will be alike either – kinda like a real fireworks display!

All you need is an empty box {a good ole Amazon box came in handy for us!} some small rounded marbles, various colors of craft paint and some thick paper to pull it together.

Simply tape a piece of paper to the bottom of the box and let kids “roll” their paint around to make a marbled look. Easy peasy! Find the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us on our Facebook page so we can admire your child’s hard work from a far! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

First things first – put a small piece of painter’s tape on the back of a single sheet of white cardstock {or any color you like} and place it inside your empty box.
Next – squirt some paint inside the box and throw in your marbles. Two to three marbles is perfect!
Now carefully {and gently} have children roll their marbles through the craft paint and around the box, to create a marbled look on the white cardstock inside.
Once they have the look they like, remove the marbles from the box {clean them off with soap & water} and remove the painted cardstock piece to allow it to dry completely.
Then for added fun, cut out a “firework” from your remaining cardstock and glue it to the center of the marbled piece.
Display proudly for ALL to see and enjoy!
Repeat over and over again!
