How To Make DIY Foam Gradient Trees

These colorful little guys are as simple as randomly spray painting foam… with your eyes closed. Okay. So not exactly with your eyes closed, but it’s close!

You don’t have to be exact all since the whole idea is that they blur together.

Just be sure spray paint further back from the cones than what you’d be used to so that it lightly mists across areas rather than heavily painting one section.
