Q-Tip Painted Handprint Cherry Blossom Tree
Hi friends! It’s mid-month again and the Kids Craft Stars are joining forces for our next addition of our MONTHLY kid craft challenge post!
Every month this year, we will have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or theme into a simple tutorial. This month’s challenge was Q-TIPS and with spring just around the corner it seemed pretty fitting for my son & I to make a cherry blossom tree in honor!
So without further ado – today I present to you our Q-Tip Painted Handprint Cherry Blossom Tree – Kid Craft tutorial that is not only super simple but a perfectly artwork piece that can be displayed AND kept as a keepsake!
Check out the full tutorial below, as well as links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge. I just know you are going to love EVERYTHING you find in this post!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished handprint spring blossom tree on our Facebook page when you are done! I can’t wait to see how it POPS from the paper! #gluedtomycrafts

* Now grab your craft paint and squirt it on the paper plate.
* Have your child take a q-tip, dip it into the paint, then onto the branches of their “handprint” tree. Repeat until your cherry blossom tree is nice and full.
* To finish off the Q-Tip Painted Handprint Cherry Blossom Tree – add other embellishments you see fit {like a bird sticker in the tree.}
