The dream catcher swaying gently in the breeze catches these dreams as they flow by, and pass them to you. Let’s add one final touch, some sparkle! We used some galaxy glitter paint from DecoArt for this step.The Ojibwe tribe created dream catchers to help children deal with their nightmares.Īs the Native Americans believe, the night air brings with it dreams that are both good and bad. Make sure to push it down tight over the wax paper!įlip over and cut off the extra wax paper. Unscrew the top of your embroidery hoop so it will fit over the second piece easily.

Lay the second piece of your embroidery hoop down, then… Ok you’ve let your galaxy paint dry, it’s time to finish this craft up! I just love the look and really think it’s a great touch. If you want to take this a step further with the older kids and you have time, you can have them paint their embroidery hoops. Look at all these amazing galaxy’s we have created for this project! The best part, none of them will look the same, they’ve created their own little pieces of art! This will create little stars for your galaxy.įlicking the paint brush with their fingers create a great effect as well! Now have them dip their paint brush in white paint, then splatter the white paint onto the wax paper. That’s look amazing, such a simple galaxy painting project. Once they have spread their paint out it’s time to carefully open the wax paper back up and see their design! Be sure to have them rub their hands all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover nicely. Next let’s fold the wax paper over again. Make sure to tell them, they need to spread the paint out like the picture below. Tell your little explores they will need to keep their paint on the left side of the wax paper. We used basic craft paint in black, purple, blues, and pink. Now that they have folded the paper over and created a line down the middle, next start adding their paint. The wax paper size needs to be bigger then your embroidery hoop.įold wax paper in half to create a line the kids can work off of. So let’s get started! Galaxy Painting Supplies Needed: I wanted to show that this is a fun yet pretty simple craft to make! I did this project over at the Darice blog for a fun VBS or Summer Camp craft, but I think this project is perfect for anytime of the year! I had a little helper today, my 6 year old son. Today’s craft is literally out of this world, far far into the galaxy! Galaxy Painting for Kids!! What I love about this project, it’s a perfect kids craft for any age.
