How To Make A Yarn and Paper Bowl Spring Tree Craft
1 – Paint the underside of a paper bowl green.
2 – When the paint has dried apply a thin layer of white school glue.
3 – Cut some lengths of green yarn and stick them into the glue. We used three different shades of green.
4 – Cut a rectangular tree trunk from brown cardstock and glue on lengths of brown yarn. (Leave the top yarn free as it will be hidden behind the paper bowl.)
5 – Glue the tree trunk onto the back of the paper bowl tree top.
6 – To make your spring tree blossom, glue on white, pink and purple mini pom poms.
You can leave your Paper Bowl Spring Tree Craft as it is or mount it onto backing cardstock.
