  • Paper plate

Materials

  • White cardstock paper
  • Brown marker
  • Green craft paint
  • Pom pom yellow or white

Instructions

  • Place the cardstock paper vertically. Use the brown marker to draw a small rectangle at the bottom for the tree trunk.
  • Add a small puddle of green paint to the paper plate for dipping.
  • Coat the bottom of the fork with paint by dipping it into the puddle.
  • Begin stamping at the bottom of the tree shape. Press the fork onto the paper and rock it slightly to make “branches.” Continue filling in the bottom layer.
