How to Splatter Paint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This splatter paint idea is very simple, and anyone can do it, whether you are 5 or 55!! \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do this for ANY holiday event, birthday party, or even community get-togethers like girl scouts, boy scouts, volleyball teams, basketball teams, etc. Or, just set aside an afternoon to teach your kids and a few friends. They’ll love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also PERFECT for a toddler paint party<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it may be a little messy, but that is part of the fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Create an Outline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you need to do to start your splatter paint painting is to create a stencil or outline. I do this on cardstock since it is sturdier, and I will usually cut out the shape that I want. For this painting, I used a pumpkin shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find all kinds of great shapes online to print, or you can draw your own to cut out. I also have all kinds of free stencils that you can download!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add tape to the back of your outline and stick it to your concave so that it stays secure as you paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Paint the Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The best color of paint to use for the background is black. That is because it will create clean lines and will show the paint splatters really nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just paint all of the exposed areas of your canvas to give it a nice black background to use for your splatters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are doing this for a kids painting party, it might be easier to paint the background ahead of time. Very small children may not be able to paint carefully enough to keep the outline intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Start Splattering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now for the fun part! I like to use toothbrushes to create paint splatters since you can control them and get much more splatters than you can from paintbrushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to get several paintbrushes and several paint colors. This is extra fun since kids can pick out their favorite colors to splatter with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you have to do is dip your toothbrushes lightly into the paint and flick the bristles with your finger. This will create a fine stray of color, you can also flick a bit harder to get more globs of paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just be careful with this part since you don’t want paint on your walls!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Paint the Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now you can remove your outline carefully to reveal the shape on the canvas. You could always leave it like this if you like it. But I like to paint in the shape as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get really creative here and do whatever you like! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one painting there was a heart shape painted into two colors with Pixie’s name in the center. For my painting, I used a pumpkin shape and painted it pink with extra details and shadows! You can do whatever you like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
