Directions to make the Fork Painted Fall Tree Craft
Download and print the Free Tree Template.
For this fall tree craft, you’ll need yellow, orange, and red paint. Pour the paints onto a plastic plate or flat surface, perfect for dipping the fork.
Start by dipping the fork into the red paint and pressing it randomly over the tree branches. This will create beautiful red patterns.
Next, use the same technique with the orange paint, limiting it to around 10 stamps per colour to avoid smudging and preserve the fork pattern.
Repeat with yellow, changing the angle with each stamp to cover the entire tree with “leaves” (fork stamps), giving the tree a vibrant fall look.
Allow the tree to dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
You can either cut out the tree or leave it as it is!
