Family Fingerprint Tree

Materials Needed:

Art Canvas – I purchased mine on clearance from Big Lots for $4

Paint in a variety of fall colors.

 

I’m using Dixie Belle Paint Paint

Chocolate

Daisy

Honky Tonk Red

Florida Orange

Haint Blue

 

 

 

 

Once the back ground is dry you can begin painting your tree trunk and branches with the Chocolate paint. If you are intimidated by this, you could use a brown sharpie and color it on the canvas. Optional – I left a white heart shape in the tree trunk. Let this dry completely.

 

I filled 3 paper plates with Dixie Belle Paint – Daisy, Honky Tonk Red, and Florida Orange paint. I used my thumb dipped in the red paint to create a heart in the tree trunk. My kids had a blast using their fingertip dipped in the different paints to create the leaves. They filled it until they liked the look. I let it dry 24 hours, and then I lightly sprayed it with acrylic sealer to protect it.

 

 

I love how this turned out. Now I have artwork created by my family, filled with love, and preserved their fingerprints.
