Step 4Paint Your Pieces
It is up to you whether or not you want to paint your pieces. I left the nativity card with a natural wood look. For the trees, though, I thought a classic snowy scene would look better.
Start off by mixing some green paint with a touch of black to darken it to a more natural color. With a thin layer and even strokes paint the tree (leaving the truck unpainted so that they wood is visible.) If you do long slow strokes, you can get the appearance of the pine needles on the tree. Don't forget to get the side and top.
Once your green paint as dried, add some more detail by adding a snowy effect with white paint. Paint the top of the tree and then each ring of branches around. Lightly brush little wisps of snow on the rest of the tree to complete the look. (Check pictures from later steps to for more pictures.)
