Place your paper on a tray and add 1 to 2 drops of liquid watercolour paint.
Hold a drinking straw 1 inch away from the paint and blow through the straw to spread the paint.We found it best to hold the straw at a 45 degree angle and to give short, strong bursts of air.
Turn the tray and blow on one of the new paint lines, creating even smaller lines of paint that extend outward.
Repeat with other areas of the pooled paint.
Blow the very ends of the paint lines to create even longer "tentacles".
Step 3: Add more colours
Repeat with a second colour of paint on a different part of the paper.Be sure to add only one colour at a time to prevent the paint from drying before you can spread it across the paper.
Continue adding different coloured splotches until you're happy with the number of monsters on your paper. We were able to make 7 paint splatters in 5 different colours (blue, orange, red, green, and yellow).Allow to dry for 1 - 2 hours.
Step 4: Turn the paint splatters into monsters!
Use your imagination to transform the paint splatters into monsters!Use a fine tipped black marker to add details to your monsters.
You can add the same tentacles to all your monsters, like we did, or give each monster a unique design!Read below for some ideas on what to draw.
Add glue to the back of a googly eye.
Place the googly eye on one of your monsters, wherever you imagine their head to be.
Repeat, adding eyes to all your monsters.For this picture we added 2 to 3 googly eyes, in different sizes, to each of our monsters. You can also add eyes of the same size, or even give your monster 1 eye or 3 eyes!
Allow the glue to dry.Your blow painting monster craft is complete!
