Its vacation time and the time for some of art and craft for kids. This tree is made using easily available materials like paper, OHP sheets and glass colours. You may make different shaped leaves to make different types of trees. Also a very good idea to make these trees for some school projects (Parents Guidance is required while making this project)
Fevicryl 3d Outliners Glitter - Green 403, Water Based Glass Colours, Rangeela Oil Pastels, Fevicol MR . A4 Sized Thick Brown Paper, A4 Sized White Paper, Pencil, Ruler, OHP Sheet, Paper Cutter, Straws, Child Friendly Scissors, Paper Punch
Take an A4 sized white paper and draw leaf shapes all over the paper in small and big sizes The biggest size of the leaf is about 1 inch long and proportionately wide You will need to make about 50 -60 such big and small leaves to make a tree Trace the leaves on an OHP sheet using 3D Outliner Glitter - Green Leave it to dry Fill in with Glass Colours - Golden Yellow, Green and a mixture of these two, to create few more green shades Leave it to dry Cut out all the leaves Punch a hole in each leaf so as to insert it in the straw Insert about 10 leaves in the straw from dark to light colours leaving a gap of about 3mm to 5mm in between each leaf Make about 5 to 6 such straws for the tree
Take an A4 sized thick brown card paper Roll it into a cone and stick the edges with Fevicol MR. Let it dry Cut the cone flat from the open side so the inverted cone stands flat on the surface Colour the cone using oil pastel Dark Brown colour in the texture of a tree back Give small cuts using a paper cutter towards the narrow end of the cone (take your parents help for giving the cuts with paper cutter) Insert the straw with the leaves in these slits
The tree will look like this once complete. You may draw and cut different shapes of leaves to make different trees
