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. 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
