How to make an Easter Tree! What you will need:  - A fallen tree branch (you can find in a park’s floor) - Paints for crafts (I chose 3 colors: pink, yellow and green) - 1 brush (yeah, you can use the same for all colors) - 1 Placing ink container (eg a plastic lid) - Colored feathers (you can use ribbons and bows) -  Little decorated eggs (plastic or you can do) - 1 long neck bottle for support (or other support like a pot) - 1 spray acrylic paint to color the bottle (but transparent it’s ok too) - Corn or Something that weights to fill the bottle and not let the wind carry the tree. How to make (2-4 hours) 1. Find a place to position the branch to painting. I put inside an empty glass with corns in to make weight. 2. Study the branch. Remove the most fragile branches and consider the arrangement of the colors you want. 3. Dilute the paint in a few drops of water to spread better. One ink layer is more than enough.  4. Brushwork! You can use the same brush for all the colors. Just wash every ink change. 5. It’s dry! The ink dries fast. Then, in less than 5 minutes the branch has absorbed the ink. Check if everything is covered.  6. Decorate! Decorate with feathers and small eggs. Their eggs may be heavier, so it’s nice to put on forks of the branch. 7. Support: The long neck bottle was painted with spray. Simple and quick drying as well. (Silly useful tip: the spray should be used to 20cm away from the object to be uniform) 8. Fill the bottle halfway with corn (or anything else that serves as weight).  9. Put the stick in the holder and voilá! Your own Easter tree! 10. Increment with some decoration and candies around the tree!
