We decided to make someChristmas Tree Arttoday.
This particular project is one that you will never want to throw away!
Its definitely a beautiful keepsake!
Supplies you will need:
Directions:
1.
Paint the bottom of two paper plates
We started by painting the bottom of two small paper plates green.
We used the small dessert sized plates.
Let them dry completely.
Add sprinkles of salt while painting and at the end over all the wet spots.
Let this dry completely.
We used our silver shimmer sticks and Faceted Beads to make these.
We made two for each tree.
We cut some hills from another sheet of white cardstock and glued them to the bottom of our paper.
I did this part for my kids.
Then have them glue each piece together in a layered effect.
(hope that makes sense).
you could always hot glue them down also.
Then we glued our trees onto our background paper.
I cut some stars out of white cardstock and the kids saturated them with glue and gold glitter.
I had never used the Glitter Shakers before but they are a new favorite!
There small size made them easy for kids to handle and control.
Next we glued the stars onto the top of trees.
The project is such a piece of art!
All of the items popping off the page really make it something special!!
My toddler was able to help with this craft in so many ways.
She helped paint the paper plates green and painted the entire background in watercolors by herself.
She was a huge help in sprinkling the salt all over the paper as well.
So what Im saying is, dont be afraid to tackle a big project like this with a toddler!
