Hi Friends,
This week we welcome fall, especially the brightly colored trees we see during the season, so we created beautiful fall Fingerprint Quaking Aspen.
This week, my littlest helper joined me for fall crafting <3

We want to see your craft! Click PHOTO SUBMISSION, then submit the photo.
PREP
Squirt your paints onto the paper plate.
Turn your paper vertically, then with the pointed paintbrush (or your finger), paint ivory trunks of varying lengths and at different heights.
Use the flat brush to add black markings on the bark.
FINGERPRINT LEAVES
Dab your pinky finger in one color or multiple colors, and press the fingerprint multiple times over the trunk to create many small leaves.
Mix the colors if you’d like to create a variety of shades.
Repeat the process with the rest of the trunks.
Matthias’ trees and mine :)
FINISH
Optional: use your paintbrush to create small leaves falling in mid-air or on the ground.
Let everything dry for about 10- 15 minutes.
That’s it!
Happy crafting,
Amanda and Matthias
