Paper Strip Fall Tree Craft
Servings: 0
Ingredients
- White card stock
- Brown paint stick (or brown crayon/marker)
- Red, orange, and yellow construction paper
- Scissors
- Green felt
- Glue
- Double-sided tape (preferably with a dispenser for easy use)
Instructions
- On your white card stock, draw the trunk of a tree using the brown paint stick.
- Take the construction papers and cut them lengthwise into one-inch strips.
- Around where you envision the tree's leaves to be, place a circle of double-sided tape. This will be our leafy foundation!
- Grab a strip and start twisting it to create a delightful twirl. When you reach the end, secure it with a piece of double-sided tape and stick it within the tree circle you made.
- Continue the twisting and taping process until you've transformed all the paper strips into twirling leaves and your tree is full and vibrant.
- Cut a grassy shape from the green felt and stick it to the bottom of your tree using double-sided tape, creating a lovely base.
- From your extra strips, cut off a few small rectangular pieces. These represent the leaves that have playfully tumbled from the tree. Use glue to attach them around the paper just below the tree.
