As of late I LOVE paint splat crafts, so of course we had to make a marbled Christmas tree version to share on Glued To My Crafts as well!! #gluedtomycrafts
Using basic supplies like our favorite Tulip Puffy Paint {affiliate link} white cardstock and those trusty scissors – I came up with a Christmas tree themed DIY that has no real rules and no two pieces will be a like either!!!
It’s just a matter of folding a piece of paper, adding paint and squishing it around to make a FUN marbled and colorful look.
To recreate this Paint Splat Christmas Tree idea, simply take a piece of white cardstock and folded it in half {either direction will work!}
OI a good working area, open it back up. Have children take their puffy paint and squirt it on one side of the cardstock, making sure it stays on the paper {hint hint parents – keep an eye out on this step}
Now fold the piece of cardstock paper up again and have them squish the paint inside around {again, keep an eye out on the paint getting everywhere!}
Open up your piece to reveal the paint splat design inside. Set aside to let it dry completely before moving on.
Once the paint is dry, use your scissors to cut out a Christmas tree shape from the cardstock {remember – empty/white spaces in your design are ok!}
Then decorate however you like with glitter, pom poms, more cardstock – whatever the crafty heart desires!!!
Then display proudly for all to see!!!
