Instructions:
Prepare Your Materials: Gather all your materials on a clean workspace. Lay down some newspaper or a disposable tablecloth to protect your surface from paint and glue.
Create the Spiral Tree:
Take a paper plate and cut it into a spiral. Start cutting from the edge of the plate, moving inwards toward the center. The width of the spiral can vary but aim for about 1 inch wide.
Once cut, gently stretch out the spiral to give it a tree-like shape.
Paint the Tree:
Using green paint, cover both sides of the spiral completely. This will form the body of your Christmas tree.
Allow the paint to dry completely before moving to the next step. This might take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the type of paint and how thickly it was applied.
Decorate Your Tree:
Once the paint is dry, it’s time to decorate! Use craft glue to attach glitter, stickers, and colored pom-poms all over the tree. Get creative with the placement and colors to make your tree unique and festive.
Let the glue dry for about 10 minutes.
Display Your Creation:
Your paper plate Christmas tree is now ready to display. You can hang it up by threading a piece of string through the top or simply place it on a flat surface as a delightful decoration.
