Minibeast Fingerprint Snail Craft: Tutorial
Step 1:
Download and print the Snail Template onto white card stock.
Step 2:
Add fingerprints!
Less is More… For clean and crisp prints, avoid applying an excess of paint to the finger tip. With every new application, print onto a scrap piece of paper before printing the snails shell.
Use the same application of paint until the print fades.
Don’t be afraid to overlap the prints and combine colours!
Step 3:
While the snail shell dries, cut out the body and trace around the shape onto a piece of coloured card.
Alternatively, the template can be coloured in.
Add a pair of googley eyes and a big smile!
Step 4:
Once the shell has dried, cut it out.
Step 5:
Glue the shell to the body of the snail.
The Minibeast Fingerprint Snail Craft is complete!
