Directions:
- Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
- First fold your paper plate in half {one per Christmas tree craft you want to make today.}
- Unfold and squirt the TWO shades of green craft paint on one side of the paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down.
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
- Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “marbled Christmas tree” design inside.
- If desired, sprinkle some glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint, to create more texture and sparkle, as well as creating the ornaments of the tree.
- Set aside to let it dry completely before moving onto the next step.
- When dry enough, to finish the Paper Plate Marbled Christmas Tree, fold up the paper plate again and grab your craft scissors.
- Cut off a small piece to give your paper plate a more defined “tree” look.
- Open up your paper plate again.
- Now grab both colors of your colored cardstock and cut out a small brown rectangle for the tree trunk, as well as a yellow star for on top of the tree.
- Go ahead and staple both paper pieces in their designated spots on the decorated paper plate.
- Then display it proudly for all to see!
- Don’t forget to show off those creations by taking pictures when done! #gluedtomycrafts
