Customize It:
- Remember, you can decorate the paper handprint tree cutout to give it more of a holiday feel, as well! Add a paper star on top and draw on ornaments with markers, for a one-of-a-kind look!
- You can also paint your popsicle stick shape {when it’s dry enough and secure} before you add all the paper embellishments to finish the craft. A nice shade of brown or gray craft paint would look nice!
- To turn it into an ornament – simple hot glue some ribbon to the back of the handprint Christmas tree piece.
- Don’t have letter stickers to spell “fresh cut trees” on the craft? Use paint or Sharpie markers to write on the words instead!
