Materials Required

A plain cardboard sheet
A pair of scissors
A black sketch pen
Clay doughs in different colours
Toothpicks

Procedure

Step 1: Starting With The Cardboard Sheet

Take a plain cardboard sheet and cut a circle out of it. Place the cardboard sheet on the table. Now, make a vertical three trunk throughout the middle section of the sheet. The trunk should be thick at the bottom while getting thinner throughout the upper section. Draw four branches on the left side of the trunk and five branches on the right side of the trunk. The branches should be thin and a little curved. See the picture below for reference.

Step 2: Working With The Clay Dough

Take some yellow clay and start moulding it to make it more flexible. See the picture below for reference

Step 3: Placing The Clay On The Cardboard

Stick the clay at the bottom of the cardboard sheet right below the tree trunk. Place the mould in a way that the entire bottom circumference gets an equal share of the mould as shown in the picture below.

Step 4: Making Marks On The Mould

Spread the mould throughout this section covering the space below the tree. Now, take two toothpicks and start carving vertical lines on the top right side of the clay at the bottom. See the picture below for reference.

Step 5: Making More Marks On The Mould

Make these vertical marks throughout the top section of the clay mould using the same two toothpicks. See the picture below for reference.

Step 6: Making Some Clay Balls

Take some more yellow clay and mould small balls out of it. Now, place these balls on the branches of the tree drawn on the cardboard sheet. One on the top, one on the right side and one on the left. See the picture below for reference.

Step 7: Making Some More Clay Balls Using Different Colours

Take some blue clay dough and mould some balls out and place them on the branches as well. Now, mould out some more balls out of red clay dough and place them on the branches drawn on the sheet. Finally, repeat the process on some pink clay dough and place them on the branches too. These balls should be placed at the tip ends of the branches. See the picture below for reference.

Finally, The Colorful Clay Tree Artwork Craft Is Ready

Mould similar balls out of white, dark blue, green and purple clay doughs. Now, place them on the empty branches on the cardboard sheet filling the empty spaces in the tree covering each tip and even the inner spaces of the branches. See the picture below for reference. The tree now has plenty of decorations and beautiful ground beneath as well.
