Free Face Painting Ideas


Free Face Painting Ideas

Here are some excellent free face painting ideas that will make you a smash hit at your next party or event!

When face painting, don’t stop with the face, include body painting also. This is always a hit. Kids go crazy for body painting. This is great to do because it makes the kids feel like they are wearing a costume and they really have fun with the character that they have been painted as. Whether it be a king or a witch, this idea is a “no fail” when it comes to pleasing youngsters. And don’t worry about the time this may take. Just keep it simple, short, and sweet and it’s a snap!

Another of the free face painting ideas is for you to try mixing and using makeup with your face painting. Taking some cosmetic makeup and combining it with face painting is an awesome idea. You can use blush to create rosy cheeks on a princess or eye liner pencil to create whiskers on a cat. Using makeup creatively and in combination with face painting can save you time and effort. Beginners may also find this easier than using paint on certain designs. Simply test out and experiment with different cosmetics to find what works best for you.

An entirely new and incredible dimension to add to your face painting routine that has been tried and tested is the use of stick-on-jewels. What’s great about stick-on-jewels is that they are simple and incredibly effective. Kids love them and it escalates the look of any face painting from amateur to pro. They are also very simple to use. Just remove the paper backing and apply to the desired area. This is one of the best and most effective of the free face painting ideas.

Try to use costumes with your face painting for an incredible combination that delights every time! Finding simple costumes is the key to this favorite of all the free face painting ideas. You don’t have to go all out and spend a lot of money. That’s not necessary at all.

Some costume ideas:

    • A simple black cape for a vampire.

    • A paper crown for a king

    • Paper bunny ears for a rabbit

    • A paper or plastic tiara for a princess

    • Stripes painted on t-shirts to look like a zebra or tiger

    • Or an old sock or stocking stuffed with tissues, magazine pages, or newspaper to look like a tail for a monkey, lion, or tiger.

And the last of the free face painting ideas is for you to use good old glitter! It’s simple, cheap, and incredibly easy. You can find glitter gel, glitter powders, and glitter dust that all work well (you just need to decide which one works best for you). Just as the stick-on-jewelry can improve the look of your face painting, glitter can make your painting look highly professional.

There are endless free face painting ideas, you just need to be creative, use your imagination, and most importantly, have fun and enjoy your art!

Personalized Wall Art For Nurseries


Breast Painting - Mouse

As your baby develops, they begin to take notice of all of their wonderful surroundings. As adults, we often forget what it is like to look at something as if it were new. Even art, no matter how original the piece, strikes a seeming similarity to our lives. That is why introducing your children to the vast world of art from the very beginning will be a springboard for future discoveries and creativity. And adding wall art to your child's nursery is the perfect addition to every baby's room. The whimsical designs will bring serenity and excitement to your baby's new space and to their lives. What could possibly be better? These works of art can be personalized with baby's name or a loving message to make the paintings perfect and unique.

"Under the Big Top" Canvas Wall Art - The circus has to be one of the most fascinating places for a child. All animals, big and small, wild and domesticated are under one tent for them to observe and fall in love with. "Under the Big Top" shows a fanciful world with animals as the audience and monkeys on the flying trapeze. This piece is certainly something to be loved and adored for ages. You can personalize your artwork with an initial that would be displayed on the costume of the elephant or with a short name of up to five letters. All of Oopsy Daisy's art is created with a lacquered finish that enables your child to touch and investigate the world painted before them.

"Balloon Adventurer" Canvas Wall Art - Hot air balloons are a constant attraction to adults and kids alike. In this scene your child will watch, over and over, father pig and mother mouse waving goodbye to their bunny and dog children, as they take a ride in the glorious hot air balloon over their sweet village. This work was created by artist Alison Jay and can become an original piece by having your child's name hand painted onto the center of the balloon. These particular paintings also donate a portion of their sales to national children's charities, so you can already begin to teach your child the importance of giving.

Vintage White Rabbit Canvas Wall Hanging - This wall heart brings the classic tale of "Alice in Wonderland" right into your children's room. The infamous White Rabbit is seen carrying a scroll while trumpeting a proud tune. This wall hanging is created by Twinkabella and offers a sophisticated look as it hangs from a wooden dowel with a ribbon and trimmed in a matching fabric with hand painted playing cards. On the White Rabbit's scroll is where you can make this art your very own by adding your child's full name or message to the piece.
