How to Paint Faces for a Fund Raiser Event

People love to contribute and this is a fun and easy way to do your part. If your Church or local organization is throwing a fund raiser and you are left wondering what you can do, face painting might up your alley.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• face paints
• small brushes
• jar of water
• paper towels
• template (printed simple images)

1. First you will need to find a bunch of simple pictures that you could use as guides. Don't exhaust yourself trying to find too many, anywhere from five to ten would be plenty. The usual genre are kid friendly items such as butterflies, cats, balloons, stars, etc. Once you have compiled your list then print it for a guideline.
2. Practice on paper or on your own kids or willing loved ones. Remember that the designs should be simple but you will want to give a try to each one at least twice to become familiar with it.
3. Gather all of your materials at the fund raising event. Set up each of the paints you have chosen to use as well as your brushes and paper towels. Your guideline page will also serve as a sample for your customers.
4. Charge a nominal fee, usually only $1 to $3 (depending on the event) and get started. Remember to take your time and don't worry if it's not exactly perfect. Kids honestly do not really care because they aren't seeing it themselves anyway. They just know that their face is painted and they are tickled by that fact alone. Just do your best and have fun!

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to buy face specific paint. Some paints might be toxic if used on skin and some simply might not come off easily.
