Paint Chip Christmas Tree

Easy Christmas Craft for Preschoolers ~ Paint Chip Christmas Tree Craft

I love new paint colors, and as a result I have a growing collection of paint chips. I decided to raid my stash to make a few paint chip Christmas trees. If you are a regular Housing A Forest reader, you know I love inexpensive crafts especially around the holidays.  Thats what makes these little trees a perfect Christmas Craft.

When I saw these little Trees from Me and My Inklings, I new we had to make our own set.

Materials Needed:

  • Paint Chips ~ Green, red, brown and yellow
  • Glue
  • Circle Punch
  • Black Paint
  • Star Shaped Cookie Cutter
  • Scissors

Cut a triangles from the green paint samples and rectangles from the brown paint chips.

To make the stars, we used a Star Shaped Cookie Cutter and black paint to make prints on the yellow paint chips, and then cut them out.

No Christmas tree is complete without a few ornaments.  We punched a few circles from the red paint chips and glued them to the trees.  We had red paint chips on hand, but any color would look amazing.
