Paper Universe Craft Idea For Kids

This latest paper craft idea from Glued To My Crafts was actually inspired by some leftover stickers I had from our Paint Splat Moon tutorial from last year.

After thinking long and hard on what I could use them up on, this “U” is for Universe kid craft idea was born.

But wait – there’s more! Since I love to make it super simple for our readers to recreate our tutorials, there’s even a FREE universe cutout printable for you to download, print and use!

Paper and various embellishments come together to make a unique and one-of-a-kind universe piece within minutes! Perfect for craft time AND reinforcing the letter “U” in the classroom!

Sounds amazing, right?! So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab those craft supplies and get to work on making this paper universe craft piece today!

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures with us! You can ALWAYS tag us on Facebook or Instagram for easy sharing. I can’t wait to see what you create! #gluedtomycrafts
