The crafty inspiration can hit me anywhere…even on a Facebook live. So after my son and I finished our latest “presentation” I hop right to it and crafted up this Paint Splat Owl Face kid craft tutorial in hopes you inspires YOU today!
Our Paint Splat Owl Face idea is simply HOOT-TASTIC in the craft department!!! #gluedtomycrafts
To recreate this Paint Splat Owl Face tutorial, I used white, as well as orange cardstock, my trusty & favorite Tulip Puffy Paint in shades of red, yellow & brown, scissors, glue and some large wiggle eyes.
The basic foundation of this craft, was taking the white cardstock and my three shades of Puffy Paint {affiliate link} to make the “owl’s face” that really sets the scene. Although I trust and love the Tulip brand for this craft, you can also use regular craft paint for this DIY, as well. Just remember – regular craft paint will absorb differently on the paper and possibly faster, as well.
So let’s start! Just fold your white cardstock in half, open back up and squirt CIRCLES of red/brown/yellow paint colors ON ONE SIDE before closing up the white cardstock again. {I normally say you can make ANY design you like but a CIRCLE design is very important for today’s craft!}
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 “owl head” 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 owl’s face will be.
Next up, grab your orange colored cardstock and your scissors. Cut out TWO triangular ears and a triangle nose. Glue those to your painted cardstock piece.
Add on the large wiggle eyes.
Once finished with your custom owl 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!
If this is something you want to do with your child today, DO IT!
