Footprint Alien

In case you weren't aware, today is World UFO Day. At Fun Family Crafts, we celebrate all the holidays, so I made this footprint alien specifically to add to our collection of UFO and alien crafts. It was a lot of fun to do! Affiliate links below.

 Footprint Alien

Materials:

• black cardstock
• Folk Art paint (green, white, grey)
• stiff paintbrush
• scissors
• googly eyes
• craft glue

Steps:

Paint the bottom of your foot with green paint, then step onto a piece of black cardstock. Do NOT lift your foot. 

Dip the stiff paintbrush into white paint. Drag your thumb across the bristles to send flicks of paint onto the black paper, mimicking stars. You can also use an old toothbrush.  

When you are happy with the starry background, lift your foot off the paper. Wash the paint off your foot, thumb, and wherever else it may have gotten. Use the paintbrush to make a grey planet for the alien to stand on. Let the paint dry completely. 

Add googly eyes, a mouth, feet, and any other features you'd like. Be creative and have fun!
