Fearless Friday, Charlie Brown Christmas Tree
Even though I’ve had a Charlie Brown type tree for years
Charlie Brown is a new favorite of mine!
So I thought it would be fun to paint a Charlie Brown holiday tree, and get a head start on holiday gift ideas
Anyone can have fun painting this happy holiday tree!
I picked up these plates at HG last year
Such a simple jolly design made with lines and dots
The lines don’t have to be straight and the tree doesn’t have to be symmetrical
For the star you can make a central dot, then add 5 points out, and then add more paint to fill the points out to look like a star
Or, you can make 1 central large dot and surround it with smaller dots
This design would be easy to paint too…
But I had to stick with Charlie Brown…
For the large jar lid I painted it white
Added red dots around the edge
And tied it with a red ribbon
Fill jar with cookies, candies, cocoa mix or candy canes and you have an inexpensive holiday gift
I found a set of small jars at HG earlier this year that are great for spice mixes and flavored salts
So paint a few jars and get a jump start on the holidays!

Your little one is too cute, Jenna! What fun painting that I think I can do!
So creative! I’m amazed at all you do!
These are just adorable. Love the idea and the finished project!
So many great ideas in one post and the most adorable little Charlie brown!!!! <3
OK, girl, I’m there with this one. I can do straight lines! You know I’ll be linking this post later to whatever I do with this easy design. Maybe napkins? Although, I love your glass jar idea for gifts. Thanks a bazillion!
Napkins would be super cute!

Wonderful little tree! I have painted jars in the past filled with various mixes as well.
That Charlie Brown is adorable! One of my all time favorite Christmas shows! Your paintings are simple and classic. Love it!
So cute. I’d love to get a gift like this!
Your very own little Charlie Brown — too cute! The things you have painted are cute, too.
What kind of paint do you use, so it doesn’t wash off the dishes and it’s still food safe on the plate? Thanks!
hi Connie, I use paint that is specifically made for glass painting and that can be cured in the oven. It is not recommended for painting plate surfaces that will be in contact with food, and it also can be scratched. I use it for glasses or plate or platter borders. The kind of paint I’ve been using for years has been discontinued so I can’t recommend any specific brand but check your local craft stores or amazon.com, and look for an opague glossy paint, I think Martha Stewart and several other big names have lines. Hope this helps!
How simple and easy! Love it! Pinning! Thanks for sharing at DI & DI.
Thank you Lori! >
What a cute and simple painting idea, Jenna. Your own Charlie Brown sure put a smile on my face!!
I know I’m biased because he’s my grandson, but I swear he’s the cutest happiest baby you ever saw, and right now he does look exactly like Charlie Brown! >
Oh these are so cute!

Charlie Brown is cute as can be! Last weekend I unearthed a box of mason jars and was tempted to give them away. Not anymore!!
Oh good! Can’t wait to see what you come up with! >
