How to Make the Doily Winter Trees Craft
What you need:
- scissors
- glue
- white doily
- white paper
- brown paper
- construction paper for the background (we used dark blue)
- white liner
Step by Step Tutorial
Darker construction paper works out best for this project. You can also have the kids paint their paper.
Let’s make the snow! Have the kids cut out or tear the shapes for the snowy ground. We made circles out of white paper and cut them in half before gluing them on the bottom of the paper.
Next, we need a white paper doily.
Cut into the doily, cutting out triangle shapes.
No need to make them even, not in shape and not in size.
Now have the kids glue the triangle shapes (pointy side facing the top) on the sheet of paper.
Continue adding different triangle shapes beside it.
Cut smaller rectangles out of brown color paper for the tree trunks.
Glue these trunks to the trees, overlapping the snowy ground.
It’s time for the final touches!
Draw the snowflakes with a chalk marker or a white liner. You can also have the kids use Q-tips or paint or even their fingertips.
And that’s all. A simple yet fun winter art project the little ones will love making.
What a wonderful use for a doily.
We love how these snowy, doily trees turned out!
