Learn how simple it is to dress up your mantel or shelf for the holidays with these colorful 3D trees. Colorful wood trees get the gold glitter treatment for the perfect addition to a sugar plum fairy Christmas. Choose your own perfect color palette and make a few trees to decorate your home for Christmas. Make a few for a small vignette or enough to fill your mantel for a glittery winter wonderland.

Step

Begin by mixing your paint colors for your trees. Use the primary colors of paint and white to create light pink, lavender, mint, and any other color you want for your color palette.

Step

Use your mixed paint to paint the wood tree pieces on both the front and back.

Step

Use the glitter paint to paint the front and back of each tree piece. One bottle of glitter paint will cover 2 sets of trees. Once the glitter paint dries, assemble the trees by slipping one tree piece into the other.
