Bubble Wrap Fall Tree Craft
Who doesn’t love bubble wrap? No matter how old you are, you just can’t resist at least a pop or two. But who knew it could also be such a great art supply? In fact, bubble wrap is perfect in our Bubble Wrap Fall Tree Craft. We love not only the texture, but all the vibrant fall colors, too!
We made our fall trees in the colors you normally associate with fall; red, orange, yellow, brown, and a touch of green. I don’t know why, but we always throw in purple for fall, too. Paint the colors on bubble wrap and press our Free Printable Tree Top Template into the paint. Such a fun fall tree craft!
Fall Tree Bubble Wrap Art Craft
To make our bubble wrap trees, you’ll need our tree top printable.
You’ll also need a sheet of bubble wrap, cardstock in two different shades of brown, acrylic paint in assorted fall colors, scissors, and a glue stick.
Bubble Wrap Fall Tree Craft Supplies Needed
- Tree Top Printable
- Bubble wrap
- Acrylic paint – assorted fall colors
- Cardstock – tan, brown
- Scissors
- Glue stick
Fall Tree Art Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by printing the tree top on regular white paper.
Then, gather a sheet of bubble wrap your fall-themed acrylic paint colors. We used red, orange, yellow, brown, green, and a touch of purple. Paint your sheet of bubble with these colors.
Now, press the tree top into the bubble wrap. Press your hand around the paper to make sure it’s evenly covered.
Once covered, lift the paper from the bubble wrap.
Let the tree tops dry completely.
When the tree tops are dry, cut out along the wavy outline. The lines may be somewhat hard to see with the paint, so just do your best.
Also, cut a strip of brown cardstock for the tree trunk.
Next, glue the tree trunk to the bottom of a sheet of tan cardstock.
Glue the tree top in place above the trunk.
If you want to make more fall trees, and you’re gonna want to make more, you will need to reapply the paint colors on the bubblewrap.
