Fall Tree Craft Instructions:

  1. Take a paper plate and write the child’s name on the front.
  2. Flip the paper plate upside down and use paint, markers, crayons, or dot markers to color the ground with fall colors to resemble fallen leaves. Set it aside to dry.
  3. Use a pencil to draw a horizontal line across the brown paper bag, positioning it halfway between the top and bottom of the bag. This line will serve as a guide for cutting.
  4. Cut vertical strips starting from the top of the bag down to the pencil line. The strips should be about half an inch wide, giving the bag a distinctive appearance.
  5. Open the lunch bag and gently place your fist inside, ensuring that the bottom of the bag rests on your fist. With your other hand, hold the bag around your wrist and lightly squeeze and twist it to create the transition from the roots to the trunk of the tree.
  6. Remove your fist from inside the bag and twist the bag as if you’re wringing water from a wet towel along the crumpled transition line. Twist the bag tightly until all the strips to form the trunk of the tree.
  7. Take two of the paper strips and twist them together to create branches. Each twist represents a branch. Repeat this process for all the paper strips to form the branches of the tree.
  8. Use a stapler or glue gun to secure the tree to the center of the paper plate.
  9. Decorate the branches with fall leaf stickers. If you don’t have leaf stickers, try using crumpled tissue paper or create your own leaves from paper.
  10. Voilà! You’ve just created the coolest fall tree craft!
