It’s our super popular and favorite “paint splat” technique incorporated into a holiday theme, inspired by the ape-like creature they call “yeti.”

Go ahead and check out our NEW tutorial & get ready to recreate your own Paint Splat Yeti Face piece with your child today! It’s a winter boredom buster that is super easy to recreate!!!
PAINT SPLAT YETI CRAFT SUPPLIES:
- To create my Yeti Themed Paint Splat Face, all I did was take some blue cardstock {one sheet per craft} and white & black Puffy Paint to make the “face” of the yeti. I also included some red cardstock paper, school glue and white cotton balls for the Santa hat that he is wearing.
- You can of course substitute a few of the materials I used, for other items. I personally LOVE the Tulip brand puffy paint for these paint splat craft but regular white craft paint will work too.

THE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS:
- The first step was to folding my blue cardstock in half and opening it back up. Then I grabbed my white puffy paint and squirted several squiggles of paint ON ONE SIDE of the blue cardstock, before closing it up again.
- Once the paper was closed for the second time, I gently took my hand and “caressed” the white puffy paint inside the folded paper, so it made a fun symmetrical print design on both sides {please keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}

- Once I was done with the above step, I opened my folded paper back up and saw the BEGINNING of what my yeti’s face would eventually be. From here, I took the black puffy paint and drew on some eyes & a squiggly mouth, right on top of the paint splat.
- Next up, I grabbed my red cardstock and cut out a large triangle piece. I then folded that newly cut triangle piece to make a Santa hat and secured it to the paint splat paper with some school glue.
- Finally – the last step was adding the white cotton balls to the brim of the hat, which really gave it that festive feel.
- When you are finished with your custom ABONIMABLEÂ SNOWMAN ART masterpiece, set aside it 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!
