Ingredients
- Wood board cut into triangles
- Sandpaper
- Craft or acrylic paint in various colors
- Paintbrushes
Instructions
- To start, I used a 2x6-inch board and measured it into sections that could be cut into eight triangles to form the trees.
- Once the triangles were cut, I sanded each one to smooth out any rough edges.
- Next, it was time to paint. I used acrylic craft paint in a satin finish, mixing in a bit of water to thin it slightly. This technique gives the paint a more translucent look and lets the natural wood grain show through.
- After all of the trees were painted and dry, I added a finishing touch of “snow” or “lights,” depending on how you interpret the look.
- To do this, I used the back end of a paintbrush to dab on small white dots across each tree.
- And just like that, my colorful wood Christmas trees were complete. They are now a cheerful and creative addition to my holiday decor.
