Paint the base in alternate colours with Little Birdie chalk paints Snow, Rainy Day and Archival Multisurface paint Tangy Tomato. Paint the trunk of tree and the base in chalk paint Drift Wood. 2.Once dry, use Little Birdie stencils - Christmas Icons, Dream Achieve and clear stamps - Joy of Christmas and Alphabet Jumble to stamp on each tree section. For stamping, I have used Ranger black ink and for the stencils I have used chalk paint - Snow, and archival multi-surface paint Tangy Tomato. Once dry, seal the surface with Decor Varnish - matte. 3.Glue on a glitter star at the centre of the white star. 4.For the base, apply quick tack glue around the centre and glue handmade satin poinsettia and some red flowers. 6. Attach the tree trunk to the base and the beautiful and unique tree is ready. 2.Christmas star decor This glittery star decor is alll shimmery and makes a beautiful addition to any home. 1.Paint the star and the base with Little Birdie chalk paint - Snow and the trunk with chalk paint - Sage Green. 2.Once dry, trace outline of the star on a sheet from the paper pack - Magic of Christmas.
