For planter you need:

• Clean, Empty Container
• Heavy White Paper
• Liquid Starch
• Yellow, Orange, Red Tissue Paper
• Foam Brush
• Rocks
• Glue

Instructions for tree:

Print at least two of each: Maple Leaf Patterns and Big Maple Leaf Pattern.

Color the middle of six or more coffee filters with markers making patches of Yellow, Orange, Red and Green. Make sure you cover an area at least as big as your leaf patterns.

Use the patterns provided to cut maple leafs out of the coffee filters. An easy way to do this is to staple a leaf pattern to a coffee filter, stapling all around the outline and cutting on the line. Lay you leaves right side up on wax paper. Brush with liquid starch. Colors will run together. Let dry. Peel leaves from wax paper and use low temp glue gun to attach to your stick.

Instructions for planter:

Cut a piece of heavy white paper to fit around your container. Tear yellow, orange and red tissue paper into irregular shapes. Use liquid starch to attach the tissue pieces to the paper, overlapping colors. Let dry. Glue to container. Fill it with rocks and stick your Maple tree inside.
