We are blossoming your child’s imagination with our latest Paper Flower Chalk Art kid craft tutorial.

The past few days we have been proving that chalk isn’t just for the sidewalks anymore. We are bringing it to the craft table and making ART within minutes!

Keep scrolling for all the details and free printable template below!

Flower Craft With Black Paper & Sidewalk Chalk

We’ve done it again on Glued To My Crafts! Our Chalk Art Peacock Idea is getting a very good response on Pinterest right now, so it got my crafty wheels spinning to come up with a NEW idea to share with you all. Instead of the peacock feather design like in the previous post, we are making some happy, colorful flower petals instead!

Dollar Tree and the Target Dollar Spot are both a great place to hit up for chalk, in large boxes with vibrant colors, for cheap!

With that being said, our super fun flower DIY is going to be rather inexpensive to recreate. All you need is a few pieces of chalk, black construction paper and our free smiling face printable listed below. That’s it! I could even see this idea being done easily with a large crowd like in a classroom, at summer camp and even birthday parties. Even adults can participate in this one too!

So what are we waiting for?! All the details and the free flower face printable can be found below. Don’t let this crafty abstract idea slip away. Bookmark it now and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art flowers with the kids & then show off those creations, with pride, with us! We love seeing those pics so tag us on Facebook or with #gluedtomycrafts in the description! I can’t wait to see what they create! Happy crafting, my dear friends!!!

PAIR YOUR FLOWER CRAFT WITH —> Paper & Sidewalk Chalk Baby Bird

This fun chalk art flower on black paper craft is perfect for kids! It’s a great way to teach them about color and blending.

Craft Supplies:

Free Flower Face Printable {grab it on box.com}
White Cardstock Paper
Color Printer
Yellow Crayon {or marker}
Paper Craft Scissors
Black Construction Paper
Sidewalk Chalk
Baby Wipes
Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive

Directions:

First things first – grab our free flower face printable, listed above in the supply list.
Next, go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. One print will give you TWO flowers so you will be able to do the craft TWICE. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use only please.
Now that you have the printable, go ahead and color in one of the flower faces with a yellow crayon {or marker.}
When done coloring in the circle, use the scissors to trim it out.
Set aside the leftover paper piece with the other face in it, so you can repeat the craft later!
Now grab a single sheet of black cardstock and your various pieces of colored chalk.
Make several line “petal shapes” going outward from the center of the paper {see our image for example} to make the flower. Add as many lines and colors that you like. You want it to be nice and “full” though.
Use baby wipes to clean off excess chalk from fingers and hands.
When done with the chalk, go ahead and grab your circle head cutout from earlier & the glue stick.
Glue the smiling flower head to the center of your chalk art design you just made.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe some glitter or small rhinestone stickers!}
Then display proudly for all to see!
Repeat the steps above, the same way, for the second flower piece leftover from earlier!

PAIR YOUR PAPER CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate & Paint Splat Tulip

Customize It:

Instead of printing the free flower face file on white cardstock, swap it out for yellow paper and take out the “coloring in” step listed above.
Don’t feel limited by using black construction paper either. Experiment with different colors of paper to see what really makes the “chalk drawn” flower petals really POP.
On that note, did you know you can dip your chalk in water to make the colors more vibrant on your paper? Yup! Just set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before. Repeat, over and over, again and let the construction paper dry completely before adhering the flower head to the center.
Don’t have a printer? No worries my friends! Just hand-draw and cut out a simple circle shape from construction paper, instead! You can use a large bowl or cup as a template too 🙂 Just trace around either with a pencil and trim out.
