Once the paper plate is dry, take the white paint or paint pen and begin making dots of snow. You could also cover the bottom of the plate with more white for an accumulated effect.

While the white paint is drying, cut a tree shape with limbs out of the brown cardstock. Make your tree however you like, just make sure it’s taller than the paper plate with limbs that can fold over the back.

Position your tree where you’d like it on your paper plate and fold the tips of the paper to the back of the plate so that the tree is tight and elevated from the center of the plate. Staple in place.

Cut two small heart shapes out of red paper. Open the clothespin and glue the bottom of the heart as far back as you can on the open clothespin. Glue a small googly eyes to the top of the clothespin.
