Step 1: Gather your materials!

I always recommend putting together everything you need before you begin.

Step 2: start painting

Use your paintbrush to paint your first branch white. You want to paint theentire think all the way around; on both sides and in between every little branch. Feel free to do more than one layer or paint to get a solid, opaque coverage if you need to. When you’re done, set the branch aside carefully to dry.

Step 3: paint second color

Clean your paintbrush (or grab a fresh one) and then use it to paint your second branch entirely gold. I used a metallic paint to get a fun, shiny finish that added a bit of glam to the project. Once again, you want to get full coverage all the way around. Set this branch aside to dry thoroughly as well.

Step 4: glue pom poms

Use your hot glue gun to stick your black crafting pom poms to the twigs on your white branch. The goal here is to scatter them in a way that looks fun but natural, as though this is a tree that really does grow pom poms like a real tree might grow fruit or flowers.

Step 5: repeat

Repeat this pom pom gluing process, but this time on the gold branch. Try and scatter them in the same way as the white branch, and to use roughly the same number so that the two branches have similar visual densities.

That’s really all there is to it! Just like with any craft you watch a tutorial for, you’re also welcome (and, in fact, encouraged) to put your own spin on the simple details, like colour schemes and finished presentation.
