Use the green shimmer aerosol to paint both of the clay pots. Paint them completely and allow to dry before continuing. In the meantime, paint your wood star with the gold glitter burst paint. I actually used two coats of this paint to get a really glittery star.
Once dry, you can now start adding your thumbprints to your tree.
Make the thumbprint art by dipping your little ones thumb in various colors of paint and adding the prints as “ornaments” to your tree. We used silver metallic, gold metallic, and red glitter burst. Allow your thumbprints to dry completely before continuing.
Once everything is dry, you will want to string your pots together with twine. Knot the twine under each pot to help them stay in place. Use hot glue to add your star to the very top. NOTE: Clay pots vary in quality and you may have a hard time fitting them together. If needed, use super glue between the two pots so they hang correctly.
Finally, use the black paint and a fine brush to add the name and year to the bottom of your tree.
This thumbprint art is complete and ready to hang on your tree!
