How to do it

  1. 1

    Dip the back of a fork in green paint and press it onto paper to outline a triangle tree, then keep stamping to fill it in.

  2. 2

    Paint a small brown rectangle at the bottom for the trunk.

  3. 3

    Dip cotton swabs in different paint colors and dot ornaments across the tree.

  4. 4

    Cut a small star-shaped sponge, dip it in yellow paint, and stamp it on top of the tree.
