How to make this fun patriotic art project
Start by punching out a circle for each firecracker you want to create. Secure them to your piece of cardstock using a bit of painters tape.
Next, take your marker and color a few circles around the inside of your circle. Then add the matching glitter glue.
Using a cotton swab, pull the glitter off of the circle out onto the paper in streaks.
Creating a beautiful firework shape. The glue will pull a bit of the color from the marker as well making them show even better. You can even pull a trail down the paper to show where it shot off from.
Use a separate cotton swab for each color. Once all of your fireworks are done carefully remove the circle center and you’re done!
Your kids will love how they shimmer and sparkle, you will love that they can make something pretty with glitter without all the mess!
