Get into the Halloween spirit with this fun paper plate craft! Create a spooky and colorful paint splat tree that’s sure to make your home extra festive.
Craft Supplies:
- White Paper Plates – 1 per tree craft
- Gray or Black Cardstock Paper
- Craft Scissors
- Tulip Puffy Paint
- Loose Craft Glitter
- Halloween Stickers
- Small and Large Wiggle Eyes
- Hand-Held Stapler
- Baby Wipes
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 Halloween 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 splatter spooky tree design inside.
- If desired, sprinkle loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint design.
- When done, set it aside till the last step.
- Next grab your gray or black colored cardstock paper and pencil.
- Lay your hand in the center of the paper and trace around it. Go ahead and also draw on the trunk of the “tree” under the handprint.
- Trim out the handprint {now tree trunk} design.
- To finish the Paper Plate And Paint Splat Halloween Tree – staple the handprint tree trunk piece out of the cardstock to the the center of the paper plate.
- Then add your wiggle eyes and Halloween stickers to really tie it together!
- Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
- If you like – add spider web material all around the tree design to REALLY spook it up!
