Crepe Paper Paint Brush Craft
It’s colorful craft that I honestly have no clue what to “title” to make it presentable for the internet “Gods.” I really suck at this part.
I’ve played around with so many names and descriptions in my head, that I’m quite honestly drained… but I’m still so excited to finally share with you all my latest craft idea for kids, regardless if I come up with a unique name or not.
When I first started envisioning this paint brush craft, I was thinking about a rainbow coming from the bottom of the paint brush. I toyed around with fingerprints, popsicle sticks and even a paper plate idea that was a complete flop. It was bad…
After playing around with some ideas and really not loving them at all, I finally settled on crepe paper streamers instead. Simple but effective. I don’t know why I was making it so complicated. I just mainly just wanted it to look like the real deal – paint coming from the paint brush cutout and the crepe paper really allows that idea to really “flow” with ease.
Anyways – find the free printable and a quick run down of how you can recreate it, in the full tutorial below. I hope you run with my idea and make it your own. Happy crafting, my friends!
