Pretend Cherry Stems Craft Supplies:

• Wooden Craft Spoons or Plastic White Spoons {2 per cherry craft}
• Red/Green Craft Paint or Markers
• Small Paint Brushes
• School Glue
• Loose, Red Craft Glitter
• Green Colored Cardstock
• Craft Scissors

Directions:

• First things first – painting the spoons! You will want TWO spoons per cherry stem craft.
• Simply paint the handle of the spoon green and follow that up by painting the round part of the spoon red.
• Set aside and repeat for each cherry craft.
• Now grab your red craft glitter and school glue.
• Put a few lines of glue on the painted red part of the spoon.
• Shake the loose red craft glitter on top of the wet glue.
• Shake off excess glitter into the trash.
• Next glue your two spoons together at the tip of the handles, to give the look of TWO cherries on a joint stem.
• To finish off the Craft Spoon Cherries – have children cut out leaves from the green cardstock and glue them to the spoons.
• Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
