Fingerprint Star Memorial Day Craft
To make your own fingerprint star craft you will first need to print our star template.
You’ll also need white cardstock, acrylic paint in red, white, and blue, as well as scissors for cutting out the template.
Patriotic Star Fingerprint Craft Supplies Needed
- Star Template
- White cardstock
- Acrylic paint – red, white, blue
- Scissors
Memorial Day Star Fingerprint Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by printing the star template on the color cardstock of your choice. Cardstock works best, so the star is sturdier and holds shape better. Cut out the star.
Now, gather white cardstock and red, white, and blue acrylic paints. Again, cardstock works best as it holds up to paint better. Pour the paint on a palette or paper plate.
Position the star in the center of the cardstock. You could use glue dots or loops of masking tape to secure in place if needed.
Dip a finger in either the red or blue paint.
Then begin making fingerprints with the colors randomly along the page.
Continue with the other color, making sure to cover the edges of the star with fingerprints.
Add a few white fingerprints at the end, too, where there’s a concentration of red and blue.
Finally, carefully peel off the star. Let the paint dry completely.
All that’s left now is to make some more patriotic stars!
