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 tree that you want to make.}

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 tree design inside.

To finish the Paper Plate And Paint Splat Tree - cut/staple a tree trunk piece out of the cardstock to the the center of the paper plate.

Then add an owl in the tree to really tie it together!

Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.

If you like - you can also add glitter on top of the wet paint for an even more fun and sparkly look!
