Directions:

First things first – print out the blank SUNGLASSES printable, listed above, on your choice of colored cardstock paper. One print gives you TWO cutouts to use.
Using your scissors, cut out one of the sunglass shapes from the printable. Set it aside.
Next up – grab your yellow cupcake liner, the glue stick and a sheet of dark blue cardstock paper.
Flatten out the cupcake liner with your hands and glue it down in the center of the blue paper.
Next squirt some yellow craft paint on the small paper plate.
Go ahead and dip the plastic fork in the paint.
Now take the paint covered fork and use it as a paint brush to “paint” rays coming out of the yellow cupcake liner.
When done adding the yellow fork prints, shake some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint for some dimension and extra sparkle.
Finally – the last step of this fork painted sun craft is to glue the sunglasses you cut out earlier, in place, as well as drawing on a simple smile underneath.
At this point in time you can add other embellishments you see fit.
When done decorating the paper, set it aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
