Unleash your inner witch! Get creative with this paint splat magic ball craft and use all the colors of your imagination!

Craft Supplies:

  • White Paper Plates – 1 per craft
  • Green Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Purple Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Halloween Stickers
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • Baby Wipes

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.
