Brown Paper Bag Christmas Tree
Instructions:What you need:
Brown paper bag
Crafting paint (suggested colors: Green, Red, White, Brown, Gold, Silver)
Floral or crafting wire (optional)
Additional touches such as glitter, confetti, etc.
Stuffing (you can use cotton balls)
Glue gun and glue sticks
Paint brushes in a variety of sizes
Scissors (Craft scissors that have a unique edge work best for a decorative touch.)
Draw the shape of the tree using a stencil or freehand the design. Once you are happy with the look of the Christmas tree carefully cut the tree out of the brown paper bag. Once you have the tree shape cut out you will need to cut out another tree shape to make the backing.
You should now have the front and the back to the Christmas tree. Using your crafting paint, paint the brown paper in any style you wish.
SOME TIPS and SUGGESTIONS: Try adding some glitter or small beads for the ornaments. Purchase some small 'jingle bells at your local crafting store and add these as an extra special touch. Use some loose tinsel and place onto the tree while the paint is still wet to add some holiday sparkle to this project!
Let the crafting paint dry completely.
Once the paint is dry, begin to assemble the tree. Using your hot glue gun, glue the painted 'front of the tree to the backing, leaving an area large enough to put your stuffing into the tree.
Once the glue has dried, begin to stuff the tree. When you are satisfied with the look of your tree, glue the opening closed and let it dry.
Add any extra touches to the tree (such as the buttons or the crafting wire-which is used to hang the tree- pictured here) with your hot glue.
