Christmas Tree Craft Supplies:

* Free Blank Christmas Tree Template Printable {GRAB IT ON BOX.COM}

Directions:

* First print out the Christmas Tree printable, in color, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You need one print per Christmas craft.
* Next grab your brown crayon or marker and color in the “tree stump” on the printable.
* Now we are ready for the paint! Grab your green craft paint, the plastic fork and the small paper plate.
* Squirt some craft paint on the paper plate.
* Go ahead and rub the plastic fork in the green paint.
* Next, using the plastic fork, make several “pine needles” inside the tree design on your cardstock paper. Add as much or as little as you like. Just keep dipping the plastic fork in the paint and then on the paper.
* When done with the above step, go ahead and shake on some loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint on the paper.
* To finish off the paper Christmas tree craft, glue on the remaining elements {the star and rhinestones} to complete the holiday look!
* And of course – add any other embellishments you see fit.
* Then allow your piece to dry completely before you display it proudly!
