- Cut out the worm designs and set them aside.
- Now grab your remaining sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Fold it in half {either direction works!}
- Now unfold and squirt some brown fabric paint on one side of the paper. Just a few squiggles will do. Just be sure to keep the paint inside the paper and not to close to the open edge. Also, less is more!
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and carefully fold up/squish your piece of paper together again.
- Rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will make a symmetrical splat inside.
- Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “dirt” design.
- If desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet puffy paint design.
- To finish the worms in dirt craft – glue one, two or three of the worm pieces in place, on the paint splatter design. It should now look like the worms are going through the dirt.
- Finish off by securing the wiggle eyes in place.
- When you are done crafting, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
