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!!!
