Save your yarn scraps from the pom pom project and the glue from our lantern adventures and you’ll be able to decorate the canvas we sent your way in no time!

We like to use painters tape or masking tape, too, if you’ve got it, otherwise, go for the full field of yarn!

1. Protect your project area

2. Cover parts of the canvas provided in your box with a few strips of masking tape. We recommend a couple of vertical strips of tape to serve as your “trunk” placed about 1/3 of the way from one side of your canvas, end to end. Then a few additional “branches” with diagonal pieces of tape coming off the “trunk.”

3. With the remaining glue mixture from your lantern project (or with a fresh bowl of 1:1 glue/water paste), coat the uncovered parts of the canvas. (We like using our hands for this - and relish the mess!)

4. Take your sticky fingers and dip them into your pom fluff and then directly onto the canvas.

5. Add a thick layer of fluff and glue mix until the parts of the canvas that were exposed are covered. (Avoid the taped areas if you can.) We like to drizzle any extra glue mixture over the fiber pieces as much as possible at the end, too. This will help the yarn stay attached the the canvas.

6. Allow to dry for at least 24 hrs

7. When dry, gently peel the tape off to reveal your white tree trunks and branches amist your rainbow yarn scrap “leaves.”

8. Hang somewhere you’d like to wink at a rainbow tree. :)

Now you’ve successfully used up the scrap fibers and gorgeous, gorgeous glue for another impromptu project! Proud of you! Enjoy your rainbow forest!
