Top Tip
You could use this technique to create a galaxy background for you to create your own space scene picture by simply adding rockets and planets.
How to Make
- Find a tray or container that you don’t mind getting paint on (something like a washing up bowl works well).
- Place your black card into the bottom.
- Then blob blue and purple paint randomly onto the card.
- Add two or three high bounce balls to your container and roll them around in a circular motion.
- As the balls roll through the paint, they will leave trails, and this will start to form your galaxy.
- When you are happy with the result, remove the balls. Simply clean with warm soapy water afterwards.
- Now sprinkle a pinch of iridescent glitter over the top while it is still wet and allow to dry.
- Once your design is dry, pour some white paint into a pot and dip in your paintbrush. Spread the bristles with your fingertip so that the paint splashes onto the picture to make the stars.
