Kids Halloween Balloon Craft x Self Portrait

How fun are these?! If there was one Halloween kids craft to try these next few weeks, I'd have to say this would be it. We've made a few over the years with our CHEEKs craft mats though my girls loved making it look like they were holding a bundle of Halloween shaped balloons and I can't blame them! I mean, image how fun that would be in real life?!

What you'll need to make this Kids Halloween Balloon Craft x Self portrait? 

Black Card stock

Sponges

CHEEKs craft mat

Sharpie

Acrylic paint

Scissors

Hole Punch

Glue stick

Glitter + Mod Podge (optional) 

Draw or trace a halloween shape on your sponge. 

Cut on the line you just traced.

Glue gun wooden pulls to middle of Halloween sponge shape. Now you have your DIY stamp!

Next cut out a black + white photo on card stick paper of your child (or cut themselves).

Trace the outline of your child’s image (or have them trace) to reveal the section of where they will be glued on.

Setup up your craft mat with the desired acrylic paint colors, clean water cup and dirty water cup.

Paint the entire back of your DIY stamp.  Then stamp in the upper corner and or all around silhouette.

Glue photo to your stamped print.

Draw a line (or they draw!) from your child’s hand up to the bottom of each Halloween stamp. Now you have a Halloween balloon!

Hole punch 2 black dots for the ghost eyes (if you make this shape) and draw on any other details you wish. Maybe even glitter? It's all up to you and your mini maker : )

If you'd like to see a video demo, you can what it here.

Happy MAKING! 

Warmly, Steph
