Super EASY Fork Painted Silly Hair – Paper Craft Idea For Kids
At Glued To My Crafts, we LOVE thinking outside the box! Today we going to show YOU how easy it is to take some ordinary inexpensive plastic forks {possibly from your party stash} and turn them into a paint brush for a creative abstract craft idea!
This silly hair art project includes easy to find craft materials that are probably in your home right now. All you need is our free provided printable, white cardstock paper, craft paint and a plastic fork. That’s it! Not to mention – the steps are even EASIER to follow with this craft idea since all you have to do is “paint” the hair on with a few strokes of the fork. Nothing too elaborate and you kids {if they want too} can go as simple or as WILD as they want on their painted hair.
To recreate this hair painted craft idea, you can find our full step-by-step tutorial below. Then set up shop on your kitchen table and watch your child’s imagination go WILD as they make some one-of-a-kind rainbow hair pieces with you!! Even adults will want to join in on the fun!
