Paper Mache Bonsai Tree
February 1, 2022
On January 11th Sara Hartman, the art teacher had students in her ceramic class make a bonsai tree. As one of her students, I followed the instructions to her example tree.
Materials Needed
- Foil
- Paper Towels
- Paper Plate (base)
After gathering all the materials needed everyone is left to use their creative minds to make their own unique tree.
Materials (I) needed:
- Glue
- Tweezers
- A thin sheet of brown paper
- Jasmine vine flowers
- Limonium sinuatum flowers
- Paper Flower Bouquet
Instructions:
Step 1 – Wrap the foil into a tree-like position
Step 2 – Wrap paper towels onto the tree-like foil form
Step 3 – Glue the thin brown sheet onto your base
Step 4 – Use tweezers to take apart the flower bouquet and then glue each flower upright on the three branches
Step 5 – Glue the faux grass onto the base
