We had fun with another Christmas Tree Craft today. This time we stamped colorful ornaments on our tree and topped it with a glitter filled star. So simple and beautiful!
Supplies you will need:
- 12 inch x 12 inch green cardstock paper
- paper cups or cardboard tube (circle shape for stamping)
- acrylic paint
- small paper plates
- brown cardstock paper
- yellow cardstock paper
- scissors
- glue
- gold glitter
Directions:
1. Cut a Christmas tree out of green cardstock paper
Cut a Christmas tree shape out of a 12″ x 12″ green cardstock paper. I drew my tree out in pencil first and then cut it out.
2. Dip cup into paint and then stamp it onto Christmas tree
Pour some paint onto your small paper plates. We choose to use 4 different colors. Dip your circular shaped cup or cardboard tube into the paint and then stamp it onto your tree to make circle ornament shapes.
3. Make circle stamps all over the tree
Continue making circle stamps all over your tree until it is full or colorful ornaments. Let the paint dry completely.
4. Cut out a star and decorate it with glitter
While the paint is drying, cut a star out of your yellow cardstock paper. Cover it in school glue and sprinkle gold glitter all over it. Pour off any excess glitter.
5. Glue star on top of the tree
After the star is dry, glue it to the top of the tree.
6. Add tree trunk
Cut a trunk out of brown cardstock paper and glue it to the bottom of your Christmas tree.
My daughter’s tree turned out so lovely! It makes such a cheerful and beautiful decoration around the house too!
