Tree Transfer Art
Time:45 min
Difficulty:Easy
Heard of tree rubbing? Why not create some cool art from the bark textures you get!
Here’s what you need:
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Tree, tree bark, or leaves
- Tape
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1:
Make your way to your favorite outdoor space. It could be your local park, a walking trail, a beach, or even your backyard. Anywhere that has trees or leaves!
Step 2:
Pick a tree with some cool bark. Is it rough or smooth? Got little bumps or holes?
If you can’t find a tree, any nearby bushes with leaves can do the trick!
Step 3:
Tape your paper against the bark and start rubbing your pencil/crayon start against its surface.
You should start seeing the tree bark’s texture on the paper.
Step 4:
When you are finished filling your paper with color, you can find more trees/leaves to transfer. Compare them, do they look the same? Different?
Bring your tree transfers home – you’ve got the perfect drawings for a fun collage!
Awesome
Right by my house, it’s a sapling actually.
Sounds fun, haven’t done it yet.
I’ll do it today
Does it have to be favorite?
Done!
Well, not with the “collage”, but otherwise, I’m fine.
Tried it in my cousin’s backyard(she has SO. MANY. TREES.)and hung them up in my room 🙂
It looks so fun.
It didn’t work very well but I used tacky stuff to print on a leaf!
