I love unpacking all of our homemade ornaments and handmade Christmas cards every year. I get so nostalgic looking through past Christmas crafts because it helps me remember those little moments we shared. You will love making these painted paper trees with your little ones… just don’t forget to date the back!

What you need to make your Painted Paper Christmas Trees:

• 1 piece of Green Cardstock.
• 1 piece of White Cardstock.
• An X-Acto Knife. (You can use scissors.)
• A Hole Punch. Any shape or size you like.
• Paint.
• A Foam Brush.
• Painters Tape.

Making your Painted Paper Christmas Trees

Start by drawing a large tree shape on your green paper. Then cut out wavy lines on the white piece of paper.

Punch holes up and down each side of all of your wavy lines.

Next, tape your green sheet of paper down then your white paper flush on top.

Grab your kiddo and some paint and let them go at it!

V covered the entire piece of white paper!! Once they are done remove the white sheet.

Allow to dry and then cut out your tree! V was very impressed with her painted paper Christmas trees. (Mama was too!)

Don’t forget to add the date the back of your painted paper Christmas trees!

Just think of all the fun shapes you could paint.  Christmas ornaments, stars, hearts and more!
