MORE HALLOWEEN CRAFT FUN TO BE HAD TODAY: Popsicle Stick Spell Book and Black Cat On Tree Branch
Craft Supplies:
* White Paper Plates – one per Halloween craft {small or large – I used small}
* Bright Green/Purple Tulip Puffy Paint
* Bat or Halloween Themed Stickers {I found mine at Michaels in the current Halloween craft aisle}
* Loose Craft Glitter
* Black Cardstock Paper
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* Baby Wipes
optional materials – 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 fold your paper plate in half {one per magic ball craft you want to make.}
* Unfold and squirt some green/purple paint on one side of the paper plate {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 “marbled magic” design inside. Sprinkle some glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint if desired to create more texture.
* Grab your black cardstock. Cut out a piece that your magic ball will sit on. Imagine the bottom of a snow globe.
* Go ahead and staple that to the decorated paper plate piece.
* To finish the Paper Plate Halloween Snow Globe craft, add your Halloween themed stickers on top. Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
