Giant and Gorgeous Painted Snowflakes

As you probably know, I love simple origami, kirigami, and paper cutting crafts. There's just so much creative possibility when crafting with a plain, sheet of paper.
Every year I cut out snowflakes to decorate our home and this year I figured I'd play around with scale.
Let's Make Giant Painted Snowflakes!
First, I covered our work area. Then, we grabbed some newspaper and brown paper bags. I cut open the brown paper bags so we'd have a nice, flat painting surface.
Then, we grabbed our tempera paints, paint brushes, brayer, and glitter glue. (I didn't provide any water for us to wash our brushes because I was worried that wet brushes would make the newspaper too soggy.)
And then we went to town squirting, painting and rolling! My preschooler and I painted alongside each other. He really enjoyed using the brayer, and just squeezed the paint and glitter glue directly onto his brown paper bag.
We let everything dry overnight. Then, I took the paper and cut them into snowflakes!
Can you tell that we're on a gold and sparkly streak over here?
I love how gorgeous the paint looks on brown paper!
Currently our giant snowflakes are adorning our dining room wall. I hope you have a wonderful time trying out this craft with your kids too!
