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 Handprint Cherry Blossom Tree craft tutorial that is not only super simple but a perfect artwork piece that can be displayed in your home during the spring months AND kept as a keepsake in your scrapbook for years to come!

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!

Directions:

First trace/trim out your child’s handprint/arm out of the brown cardstock paper. This is the start of the cherry blossom tree.
Grab your glue stick and glue that cutout to the center of your light blue cardstock paper.
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.}
When done crafting, set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!!!
