Spin Painting

Hello and welcome!

Today I'm sharing some crafty fun I had with 
Marie.
I recently saw someone post this salad spinner on

my Buy Nothing group and was fortunate to

receive it.  I've been wanting to give this a try, 

but didn't want to spend the money on a new salad spinner.

Marie was very intrigued with what we were going to

do with it.

I cut card stock into card sized pieces and

taped them into the bottom of the spinner.

She then chose 2 or 3 colors of craft paint

and squirted them onto the card stock.

We put the top on the spinner and turned 

the handle and gave it a good spin.

When we opened the spinner, we had a pretty

cool abstract design.

This one she chose purple and orange,

as they are Auntie Kelsie and Uncle Brad's

favorite colors.

We tried several different color combinations.

We got lots of different results, but loved them all.

This one and the one below were the first couple

we tried, but we didn't tape them down.
The card stock "flew" around the spinner

and had a totally different look.

This was our first one that we taped down,

I wasn't thinking and put the tape on the sides

of the card stock.  You can see where I pulled the

tape off.  After that we put the tape on the bottom

of the card stock.

All in all we made 8 different spin paint backgrounds.

These are the cards I put together for her to give as 

Valentine's cards.  She's a bit too young to 

cut them etc. but she picked what pieces she wanted

for everyone.
This one was for Auntie Kelsie and Uncle Brad.

This one was for Mommy.

This one was for Daddy.

She was very excited to be able to give

them all cards along with the 

brownies that we made together that

afternoon.  She loves baking and doing

"arts and crafts" and making

things for those she loves.

Of course, they all loved what she had to give them.

This is definitely a craft we'll be doing again.

I'm glad you stopped in today for a look see.
I hope you have been inspired in some way and

maybe will give this spin painting a try.

You never know what designs you'll create.

Come again soon.

Until then,

give it a spin!
