Procedure

Step 1: Drawing The Branch Of The Tree

Let’s begin our craft by taking a white sheet of paper. Cut it into a big circle. This will become the base of our craft. Take a brown sketch pen and make a branch in the center of the circle as shown. Make the other end of the branch curved in an upward direction.

Step 2: Making A Snail’s Shell

Take pink clay and carefully roll it in a spiral as shown. This will become the shell of the snail.

Now, paste the pink shell on the left side of the branch as shown.

Step 4: Making The Snail’s Body

Make more shells of different colors like orange, purple, and blue. Place them closely on the branch as shown. Take a black sketch pen and draw the neck, a circular head, and two tentacles on top of the head as shown.

Step 5: Making More Snails

Repeat the above steps and make the bodies and heads of the other snails too.

Step 6: Pasting A Leaf

To make a leaf, take the green paper and cut it into a leaf shape. Paste it on the end of the curved branch with the pointed end facing on the left side. Take a black sketch pen and draw the veins on the leaves as shown.

Step 7: Pasting More Leaves

Using a brown sketch pen, extend the branch from the middle and split it into two sub-branches as shown. Take green paper and cut more leaves from it and paste them on the branches. Using a black sketch pen, make the veins on the leaves.

Step 8: Adding Raindrops

Take blue clay dough and make pear shapes from it. These will represent the raindrops. Paste them on the white background as shown.
