We Love Spin Art here and we have done quite a few posts on it! Here is another one to add to our collection: Spin Art Christmas Trees! Here are some of our beauties. I like the whimsical look of them! Find out how we made them below.
We used a salad spinner for our spin art this time! We cut a paper plate to fit our spinner first and squirted paint in shades of green, yellow, blue, gold, and white. Then we put on the lid and let it spin.
The only disadvantage to using a salad spinner is that you can't see the art being created, but it can create a larger finished project. So the salad spinner was perfect for this project.
Then to create all the parts of the tree, we made half circles successively smaller like this. The large pieces for the bottom, and smallest for the top. We shaped these pieces into cone shapes and use staples to hold the cones.
Here are our undecorated trees. Very cute too! I didn't glue the cones together, but you could!
I just LOVE these little trees! We used sequin and spangles
with white glue to decorate our trees!
