How to make a SPLAT bug!

So it’s another wet day and your kids want to get crafty… again… but this time they want something sparkly and shiny to make their own.

So you need to come up with a great idea in a short space of time.. Well why not on this occasion use the  kids can be crafty tools. We;re  are here to help.

Today’s kids crafts solution is…. The SPLAT bug. This is a versatile wee creature that can be made into a picture, a fridge magnet or a Frisbee. Let your crafty kids choose J

To make the splat bug you will need the following items form your craft supply cupboard:

PVC Glue

Lots of glitter in lots of colours

Sparkly gems or confetti

Googley eyes 

A baking tray (or glass plate)

And a paint brush

To make your Splat Bug:

Pour about 10ml’s of glue into the baking tray until you have a small puddle.

Take the paint brush and pull it through the glue to form a splat shape (or nay shape you like). Make sure the glue is evenly spread or it will take longer to dry.

Rainbow glitter effect

Once you’re happy with the shape grab the glitter and shake shake shake those colours over the Splat till it is fully covered.

Now take your googley eyes and place them on the splat.  Then place it in a warm place to dry, if the glue is not to thick this should only be an hour or so (but if it’s thicker leave it overnight).

Once the Splat Bug is dry get your crafty kids to add either a magnet to the back or frame it and name it .  Anything goes.

Have Fun
