face painting small designs on cheeks

Step One: Find A Design!

Create your stencil design by either finding one online and printing it out or drawing one of your own. Attempt to stay with something simple since the surface area (a child’s face) is quite little and will probably move while you paint them!

Step Two: Keep Your Stencil In Place

Use a little tape to hold down the printout (or your sketch) of the stencil design to the piece of acetate across the edges. Make sure that the stencil design is really a sensible size for the child’s cheek.

Step Three: Cutting Out Your Stencil

Using a sharp craft knife, start carefully cutting out the stencil. Once the stencil is cut out, hold it in place with one hand on the child’s cheek, while using the other hand to paint in your design.

Important Information: Don’t Forget!

Ensure that you always wash the stencil after use. Never use an unwashed stencil on someone It might cause skin irritations or allergic reactions.

And that’s all there is to it!

Face Painting Bunny Design

I started face painting designs for kids recently. I used my six-year-old and her friend as my guinea pigs. I’ve never face painted before, but I have some painting skills, so they turned out pretty well.

I actually had a ton of fun doing it, and like everything else that I discover and enjoy, I throw myself into it full force. I found myself scouring around for information on small face painting designs both online and in the bookstore. I was wondering, because it was so much fun, if face painting could actually be a good small home business to start.

I bought the face paints at Michael’s craft store where they only had two types of face paints to choose from. I bought the Snazaroo face painting kit that came with eight paints, a sponge, and a brush; a pretty basic kit but great for someone just starting out. When I went to Barnes & Noble to see what I could find in terms of face painting books, I couldn’t believe that they didn’t stock any books on small face painting designs, or how to face paint, or anything to do with face painting. So, I went back to the internet to learn more.

This led me to a great Face Painting Design Book. I purchased it, and downloaded it right away.

What I liked about it was that every part of the book is based on what face painters like you and me wanted to know. It’s not about being able to paint Picasso on someone’s face, is being able to paint what the kids like. It’s being able to paint the most popular cheek art designs for someone’s birthday party, a charity event or a school party.

I never really considered small face painting designs for kids to be a viable small home business, but apparently, it can be somewhat lucrative. Think of all the places that you might find face painters…craft shows, birthday parties, corporate events, fairs, fund-raising events, and more. In my research, I discovered that face painters can make anywhere between $50 and $150 an hour depending upon their experience, and/or venue. Just a side note–you don’t have to be a skilled painter to be a face painter. If you can follow directions and learn the techniques laid out for you in a reference guide, then you can learn face painting. Just know that it will take practice and patience.
