Supplies for Scrape Painting Christmas Tree

Paint (any color)
Recycled cardboard (cut into a square)
White cardstock
Tray (optional)
Scissors
Christmas tree templates
Pencil
Gold or silver star shaped sticker
Cricut (optional)

Directions

First, download, print then cut out the free Christmas tree templates. See supplies to get the template. If you have a cutting machine like a Cricut, search for a Christmas tree image then cut.
Next, add a few drops of paint on white cardstock. Use different shades of green paint or vibrant colors.
Take the cardboard square and scrape the paint across the white cardstock. Start at the top and move downward. Now move in a different direction. Try not to scrape the paper more than 3 or 4 times. Set aside to dry.
Finally, use a pencil to trace the tree templates on the painted cardstocks then cut. Add a star shaped sticker to the top of the Christmas tree.

We love using this scrape painting technique. The results will always vary and that’s what makes it unique. You can make multiple trees then create a garland.
