Salad Spinner Christmas Trees!

Using our salad spinner again (see post: Salad Spinner Leaf Art ), we created Christmas trees to decorate our classroom for our party!



All you need is a salad spinner ($4 at Ikea), green paint, glitter, and paper.  Oh, and willing spinners.  Ha.

Once their spun art dried, we cut the circles in half, stapled the halves into cones and then stacked them.  Super cute and pretty darn easy!



Below, one of my fours is adding sequins to her wet paint.

FYI:  The sequins did tend to pop off the trees as we curved them into cones.  So perhaps gluing them on would be better once the paint is dry.
