Craft Supplies:
- Belt Buckle Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper {2 sheets!}
- Scissors
- Red Puffy Paint
- Loose Craft Glitter
- School Glue
Directions:
- First print out the free belt buckle printable listed above on a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Cut out one of the designs and set everything aside for now.
- Now grab your second sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Fold it in half {either direction works!}
- Now unfold and squirt some RED 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 “Santa belly” design.
- If desired, sprinkle some loose craft glitter on top of the wet puffy paint design.
- To finish the platter Santa craft – glue the belt buckle cutout in the center of the paint design.
- When you are done crafting, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
