Craft Supplies:
Before you start your magical creation, gather these simple supplies. You likely have most of them at home or in your classroom already.
- White Cardstock Paper
- Choice of Color Cardstock Paper
- Witch Printable – on our landing page
- Crayons, Coloring Pencils or Markers
- Scissors
- Tulip Puffy Paint {shades of green and purple}
- Loose Craft Glitter
That’s it! With these materials in hand, you’re ready to begin the splat-tastic fun.
Directions:
Follow these easy steps to bring your melted witch to life. This is a great craft for kids to do with a little guidance from an adult.
- Begin by printing the free MELTED WITCH printable (linked above) onto a single sheet of white cardstock.
- Carefully color in the designs and cut them out. Set these aside for now.
- Next, take a sheet of cardstock paper and fold it in half (either direction works).
- Unfold the cardstock and add a few squiggles of green and purple fabric paint to one side of the paper. Be sure to keep the paint away from the edges, and remember—less is more!
- Fold the paper back together, gently pressing and rubbing your hand over the surface to spread the paint evenly inside. This will create a symmetrical “splatter” effect.
- Carefully unfold the paper to reveal your vibrant “melted witch” design.
- If you’d like, sprinkle loose craft glitter onto the wet paint for an extra sparkle.
- To complete your Melted Witch Craft, glue the paper cutouts {anywhere you like} onto the painted design.
- Add any additional embellishments you want to make your artwork pop.
- Once finished, set your creation aside to dry completely before displaying it proudly.
