Trees in 4 Seasons

Tuesday, June 25, 2013

We made these wonderful trees last week and I think it deserves a post!

Materials needed: some colored tissue paper and 4 tree trunks (cut-out from paper bags)

Cut the tissue paper into small pieces and crumple each. For the trunks, glue them on a white paper or cardstock. You might work on one tree at a time. Such as here, we started with summer... thus the green tissue. I also advice to use some range from light to dark colors for some accent. My son had fun gluing the leaves on the trees!

Here's our winter and spring trees. My son decorated the winter tree with some "snowy leaves" on the ground and leaving the tree almost bare. Our spring tree is a Cherry Blossom thus the color pink.

For summer, we have light and dark green leaves and for autumn he wanted yellow and orange with leaves on the ground.

And this is how they turned out... and I love it! They all look good together! I'll find a suitable frame for them so I could hang and display them in sitting room:)
