Glow-in-the-Dark Penguin Family Portrait

Glow in the Dark Penguin Family Portrait - a Dollar Store Craft
Need a cute project to make with the kiddos? This Penguin Family Portrait is the right combination of simple yet fun, using materials from the dollar store combined with Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue and Puffy Paint Glow. And did I mention it glows in the dark?

Project Materials: 
Picture Frame (4x6 or 5x7 unless you have a larger family)
Scrapbook paper (I used green glitter paper)
A pair of "magic" gloves in black, blue, or gray
Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue
Puffy Paint Glow Paints (Orange and Natural Glow)
Scissors
Permanent Marker

Glow in the Dark Penguin Family Portrait - a Dollar Store Craft

How to Make It:
1. Remove the back of the frame, take contents of frame out, remove and discard the glass (or save for a future project).
2. Using the paper frame insert as a template, trace onto scrapbooking paper and cut out. This becomes your background.

3. Trim the fingers off of the magic gloves until you have enough digits for each member of your family. 
4. Glue glove fingers onto background with Clear Gel Tacky Glue.

5. Add penguin tummies in Puffy Paint Natural Glow. Add dots of Puffy Paint for eyes.

6. Add penguin beaks by dotting Puffy Paint Orange Glow, and pulling out to taper the beak to a tip.
7. Add penguin feet with the Orange Glow as well.
8. Add background details with additional Puffy Paint.

9. Draw a little banner with the family name on it. Cut out and glue on with Clear Gel Tacky Glue.

Allow all the paint and glue to dry (several hours or overnight).

10. When it's all dry, add pupils to the eyes with a black permanent marker.
11. Insert the picture into the frame.

All done! Don't forget to see how it looks in the dark!

Social networks have become part of our lives. Communication is what the modern person lacks. In the flow of affairs, worries and responsibilities we don't have time to communicate. Our personal life suffers, friends leave it, and it begins to seem that loneliness is inevitable. It is for these reasons that I could not find my soulmate. I found her through a russian mail order brides search. We have been together for about half a year and are getting married soon. I recommend this site to all those who, like me, can not find my soulmate.
