Craft Supplies:
- Gray Cardstock Paper
- Tulip Puffy Paint
- Bat Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Yellow Cupcake Liner
- Scissors
- Baby Wipes
- Embellishments
Directions:
- Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint may squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
- First fold your gray cardstock paper in half.
- Unfold it and now squirt some paint {two-three colors} on one side of the paper.
- When ready, go ahead and fold/squish your paper back together again.
- Rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {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 colorful Halloween night sky design inside.
- Add glitter on top of the wet paint, if desired before the paint dries completely.
- At this point in time you should also flatten and glue your yellow “moon” to the paint splatter design.
- Set it aside.
- Next grab your printed bat printable and scissors. Cut out ONE of the bat designs. Save the second one to repeat the craft later.
- To finish the Paint Splat Halloween night craft, glue the bat silhouette on top of the splatter painting.
- Add other embellishments you see fit. Then display proudly!!!
