If you have been a long time of follower of us, you probably already know that paint splat crafts are one of my favorite to share. It’s basically a “symmetrical” craft where you squirt various shades of craft paint on a folded sheet of paper, squish together and open up to reveal a fun, marbled design inside. Then we take those paint smash masterpieces and make them even better with some added crafting techniques! Like with today’s idea – adding a cardstock cross embellishment to make it perfect to celebrate Easter!

So today I present to YOU our beautiful Paper Plate Paint Splat Easter Sunrise kid craft idea. Wanna hear the best part about our idea? Just like a REAL sunrise, no two pieces will be alike and everyone will have a UNIQUE take on the craft!

Follow the full step-by-step tutorial below to see what I’m talking about! Don’t forget to share pictures of your GOLDEN creations!

Happy crafting this symbolic season, my crafty friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paint Splat Easter Sunrise Craft Supplies:

* White Paper Plates {small or large – I used large this time around}
* Black Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
* Red, Yellow and Orange Tulip Puffy Paint {or any craft paint in a squirt bottle}
* Paper Craft Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* Baby Wipes
optional – loose craft glitter in shades of orange, yellow, red

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 paper plate per cross craft you want to make.}
* Unfold the paper plate and squirt a few lines of red, yellow and orange 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 mosaic sunrise design inside.
* If desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint. Shake off excess glitter.
* To finish the Paper Plate Splat Easter Sunrise – cut/staple a simple cross shape out of black cardstock to the paper plate.
* Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see.
