Paint Splat Marbled Christmas Tree

As of late I LOVE in-cooperating Tulip brand fabric puffy paint into our crafty ideas, so of course I had to make {and share} a marbled holiday tree kid craft idea to share on Glued To My Crafts as well!!

Keep scrolling for the full how-to on this Paper Plate & Paint Splat Marbled Christmas Tree tutorial! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate & Paint Splat Christmas Tree - Kid Craft

Looking for a fun and easy way to keep the kids entertained during the holidays? This paint splat marbled Christmas tree is perfect! Not only is it great for getting creative, but it’s also a festive way to get into the Christmas spirit. So gather up some paint and get ready to have some fun!

Whether buried in drifts of snow or living in a warmer temperature climate – everyone will love a beautiful, festive marbled tree craft.

Using basic supplies like our favorite Tulip Puffy Paint, inexpensive white paper plates and your trusty craft scissors – you too can create a marbled paint Christmas tree themed DIY for your child, that has no real rules and no two pieces will be alike – EVER! It’s also perfect for adults to recreate, right along side with their young crafter!

It’s just a matter of folding a simple paper plate in half, adding a few swirls of craft paint inside and then closing it back up so you can squish it all together.

Then when ready, open it back up to reveal a FUN marbled & truly colorful look that will be the START of your custom paper Christmas tree. Then add glitter to the wet paint and some cardstock embellishments to finish it up & make it shine. Easy peasy – just how we like it on Glued To My Crafts!

You can find all the details and a few supply affiliate links below, to get you started even faster! I sure hope you are inspired to recreate our unique paint splat holiday tree tutorial! If you can, please share pictures of your paper and paint Christmas trees on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see how your “paint splats” turn out! #gluedtomycrafts

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

If you like – your child can add other personalized embellishments like glitter, sequins, buttons etc. Really make it into your own craft!
