How we made the Tissue Paper Fall Tree Craft

You will see the steps below that we used to make the tree. And remember that no tree will look the same and that is okay. And if it does not look like a tree that is okay.

Step 1: Paint the Trunk of the Tree

You use watercolor to paint the trunk of the tree. You can free hand painting with older kids.

Younger kids you can have them draw the tree first before they paint it.

If you don’t want to paint a tree, you can use the dot marker fall tree for a template.

Step 2: Paint the Branches in the Tree

Next you are will paint a few branches in the tree. These branches might stick out between tissue paper. And they are a fun to see in the design.

You can skip this step if you think it is to complicated for kids.

Step 3: Put glue on the Top of the Tree

You are use the glue and put swirls of glue at the top of the tree. You can start with a little glue and add more later of try and do all the glue at the start.

Step 4: Place Tissue Paper on the Glue

Next you can start placing the tissues paper on the glue. You can start with one color or use all three colors at the same time.

And as you are going you will put more tissue paper on the branches of the tree. You can see how the tree is filling out with the fall colors.

If you find that you need more glue then add more where it is needed.
