Paint Splatter Valentine Tree Art
Do you want to create a unique piece with your child this Valentine’s Day holiday? Maybe you are looking for something outside the traditional? Well you are in the right place with Glued To My Crafts and our latest paint splat craft idea!
This time we are making lovestruck marbled trees and I hope you are inspired to recreate one of your own with your child today. All you need is a few shades of puffy craft paint, paper plates, loose craft glitter and a little bit of brown cardstock to “grow” each one “from the ground up!”
I’m super excited for this “first seen here” idea and I’m sure it’s going to be the perfect craft for you & your child to tackle this week! No two pieces will be alike so you will have a variety of valentine creations to look at when you are done.
That’s all for now, so I’ll let you get to it! Everything you need to know can be found below in the full tutorial!

Craft Supplies:
- Small Paper Plates
- Tulip Puffy Paint
- Loose Heart Shaped Glitter
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
- Heart Stickers or Cutouts
- Hand-Held Stapler
- Baby Wipes
Directions:
- Please make sure you have a good working area because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!
- First fold your paper plate in half – straight up the center, into equal pieces {one per tree that you want to make today.}
- Unfold and squirt some 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 colorful paint splat tree design inside.
- Go ahead and sprinkle some glitter on top of the wet paint.
- To finish the Paper Plate And Paint Splat Valentine Tree – cut/staple a tree trunk piece out of the brown cardstock to the bottom of the paper plate.
- Then add a large heart sticker or cutout to the top of the tree to really tie it together {very much like putting a tree topper on a Christmas tree!}
- Then set aside your tree piece to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
- Don’t forget to snap a few pictures to share with us! #gluedtomycrafts
