Directions:

  • First things first – grab your small paper plate and scissors.
  • Cut the paper plate, straight down the center, into TWO equal halves.
  • Reserve one half for today’s chalk smiling sunshine craft and save the other for a rainy day  when you need some sunshine in your life {maybe for our chalk art troll tutorial!}
  • Now grab your yellow colored craft paint and foam paint brush.
  • Squirt some paint in the middle of the paper plate half and move it around with the foam paint brush, until the paper plate is completely covered.
  • When done painting, set aside the paper plate to allow it to dry completely.
  • Now grab your dark blue colored cardstock and the scissors again.
  • Fold the blue cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
  • Use scissors to again to cut straight up the center, to create two equal pieces.
  • Reserve one blue paper piece for today’s craft and save the other for another day.
  • Now grab your yellow piece of colored chalk.
  • Make several lines, all over the blue cardstock, to recreate sunbeams. Add as much lines {and different colors if you like} or as little as you like.
  • When done with the chalk step, go ahead and grab your painted yellow paper plate piece, as well as the stapler.
  • Staple the painted paper plate half to the bottom of the blue cardstock with the chalk lines. You want it to look like a sun shape with the beams coming out of it.
  • Add any other embellishments you see fit {like the wiggle eyes and drawn on smile with the Sharpie marker.}
  • Then display your custom one-of-a-kind paper chalk art sunshine piece proudly for all to see!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures of your chalk art smiling sunshine craft with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
