Face Paints / Body Stamps
Here's the big overview for DIY Facepainting. Check out how-tos for specific face painting designs on our Smugmug.
Rainbow stamps (like the ones pictured above) are even quicker and easier than face paints! Just go to Silly Farm and order a neon rainbow cake (this one and this one work well) and glitter.
You can make stamps in whatever shapes and sizes you want. Just stack foam shapes a few high and attach them to some sort of base, like a glue stick, wooden block, or empty glitter container.
You'll also need a foam brush or sponge and a spray bottle. Simply spray your brush and rainbow cake with water, rub the brush on the cake to pick up pigment, and press the stamp into the brush. Then stamp away, and squeeze some glitter on while the color is still wet!
Here's a video of how to make the stamps, and here's what the whole set-up looks like.
