Gingerbread Man Craft Materials:
* Large or Small Paper Plate {one per gingerbread man craft}
* Brown Tulip Puffy Paint
* Gold Tulip Puffy Paint
* Black Tulip Puffy Paint
* Light Pink Colored Cardstock Paper
* Basic Craft Scissors
optional embellishments – loose craft glitter, rhinestones etc.
The 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
