Step 1

Paint little trees on the canvas. Repeat the size of each tree but make each one slightly different.
TIP: Mix paints on the trees for a fun effect.

Step 2

Use the eraser on the back of a pencil to make dots on the canvas to resemble snowflakes.
TIP: The back of a paint brush also works to make dots.

Step 3

Paint the sides of the canvas bright and fun. Let all the paint dry.

Step 4

Wrap a ribbon around the canvas and tie a bow.
TIP: ADULT: To help keep the ribbon in place around the canvas, you can always add a drop of hot glue to the back side.
