Check out our Paint Splat Unicorn Kid Craft Idea! #gluedtomycrafts

You guys already know how much I love my paint splat crafts on Glued To My Crafts. It’s becoming a “slight” addiction at this point.

Recently I was scratching my brain and trying to come up with a “unicorn” themed paint splat idea. Afterall – unicorns are ALSO very popular on our blog. So here is my latest tutorial using what I “dub” as the Glued To My Crafts “paint splat” way! I hope you see the vision in my craft and enjoy making some of your own magical unicorns with your child today!

Happy crafting, my friends and don’t forget to send us those “pait splat unicorn” pictures to feature YOU! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou

Paint Splat Unicorn Craft Supplies:

* Large White Paper Plates {one plate makes TWO CRAFTS!}
* Color Cardstock
* Glitter Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
* Tulip Puffy Paint {or any craft paint in a squirt bottle}
* Color Markers/Crayons
* Stapler
* School Glue
* Baby Wipes
optional – glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

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 cut your paper plate in half, straight up the center. You will need ONE paper plate half per craft.
* Now fold your paper plate “half” in half.
* Unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the paper plate piece {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 design inside. This is the unicorn’s head/hair. Sprinkle some glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint if desired.
* To finish the Paper Plate Splat Unicorn craft – staple your painted piece to the center of a single sheet of cardstock.
* Now cut/glue a unicorn horn and ears out of your remaining cardstock, to the piece with the paper plate. Draw on some eyelashes with crayons/markers. Add other embellishments you see fit.
* When done, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
