To make a pretty, decorative fir from craft blocks, start by putting seven craft blocks together to form a rectangle. Mark the center of the top block and use a ruler to draw a fine line from the mark to one end of the seventh block. Repeat this on the other side and saw off each individual block along the pencil mark. Keep the sawn-off ends as you will need them later.
Next, take two more craft blocks and mark an oblique angle at one end of each, which you then saw off. Glue the shorter, already sawn-off pieces to the straight edge of the blocks using handicraft glue . Then glue more blocks to the straight ends and attach the sawn-off, angled pieces to the left and right.
Once the glue has dried, paint the edges of the blocks with dark green handicraft paint, to give the fir a natural look.
Cut a square strip to a length of about 60 cm, which will serve as the backbone of your fir . Glue the individual craft blocks to the strip using handicraft glue and allow the glue to dry completely. To ensure that the gaps between the blocks are even, you can use an upright block as a spacer.
Give your fir a festive sparkle by painting some scatter decoration "Witney" with golden handicraft paint and sticking them to the fir after drying with handicraft glue . Protect your fir, by coating it with a weatherproof, saliva-proof wood stain . This makes the fir suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Finally, paint a small zinc bucket with handicraft paint. After it has dried, fill it with flower arrangement foam and place some Iceland moss and decorative-willow, on top to create a stable and decorative base for your fir .
With these instructions, you can make a beautiful, handmade fir that is perfect as a decoration or gift.
Have fun making it!
