Materials for wooden winter truck craft

Materials Needed:
- Acrylic paint (I'm using white and light blue for my truck)
- Green acrylic paint for the tree
- Black acrylic paint for the tires
- One paint marker
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- One paintbrush
-Craft string or twine

Wooden truck, and acrylic paint

Let's start by applying acrylic paint. I painted the truck white, while the door and the fender above each tire were painted blue. I painted the tires black.

For the tree, I added green and, using a paint marker, I created a few white streaks to resemble snow. I also used the paint marker to highlight several areas on the truck, including the tires.

Ribbon, scissors, and wooden truck

After painting the truck, I took some scissors and cut a small section of ribbon that I found at my local Dollar Tree. I then used adhesive to attach the ribbon along the side of the truck, adding the perfect finishing touch.

Don't forget to add some craft string or twine to easily hang your decorations.

    This is so sweet! There is something with trucks, especially red ones, which I immediately associate with Christmas, the ones carrying a Christmas tree... Love your version! So beautiful and fresh!
