Paint Scrape Hedgehog Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by printing the hedgehog on black cardstock.
Cut out the hedgehog. Also, cut a strip of heavy cardboard, like from a shipping box. It works best if the strip of cardboard is just slightly larger than the width of the sheet of cardstock.
Now, gather a sheet of heavy white cardstock and a variety of colors of acrylic paint. Pour the desired colors of paint at the top of the sheet of white cardstock.
Next, use the cardboard to begin scraping the paint down.
Continue until the paint is all the way at the bottom of the page.
At this point, we then scraped backwards to fill in any missed sections. If you’re working with littler ones, though, this is the point where it all could go wrong. So it’s up to you if the single pass through is enough. Let the paint dry completely.
Once the paint is dry, glue the black hedgehog silhouette to the center of the paint scraped cardstock.
The great thing about this craft is that the paint scraping leaves a different look every time. Play around with colors and have fun!
