Paper Plate & Paint Splat Gingerbread Man - Kid Craft Paper Plate & Paint Splat Gingerbread Man - Kid Craft

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, straight in half {one per gingerbread man face craft you want to make today.}
  • Unfold and squirt ONLY the gold & brown colored Tulip puffy paint on one side of the folded 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 either.
  • Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold up/squish your paper plate together again.
  • Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded paper plate piece, so the paint will cover the inside nicely and make an even marbled look {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 gingerbread man face” design inside.
  • If desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint, to create more texture and sparkle.
  • Now grab your black Tulip paint and draw on a few squiggles for the eyes & mouth of gingerbread man.
  • To finish the Paper Plate Marbled Gingerbread Man – cut out a small circular nose from the pink colored cardstock.
  • Go ahead and place the piece of paper in the middle of the decorated paper plate {while the paint is still super wet} so it will dry in place.
  • Then step aside your decorated paper plate piece to allow it to dry completely.
  • When ready – display it proudly for ALL to see and come share pictures with us if you can! #gluedtomycrafts
