Instructions No. 3183
Difficulty: Beginner
Working time: 30 Minutes
Step 1: Form the base of the fir
Start by gluing three wooden balls together three times using handicraft glue . Make sure that the glue dries well before you continue. Once the balls are firmly attached to each other, glue two of these formations to the short sides of a craft block. This will form the stable base of your festive fir.
Step 2: Build the structure of the fir
Take two more craft blocks and glue them together with an overlap of about 3.5 cm. This new structure is then glued upright onto the already prepared wooden balls of the fir base. To secure the top of the fir , glue the last 3 rows of wooden balls to the top. This not only gives your fir only support, but also gives it a decorative top.
Step 3: Designing creative houses
For the next step, mix the casting powder into a creamy mixture according to the instructions. Fill this mixture into the desired shapes that will determine your future houses. After a waiting time of around 45 minutes, you can shape the houses. Leave them to air dry for a few more hours to make sure they are stable. Now you can stick them on or in front of your fir to create a wintry scene.
Step 4: Top off the fir with a Christmas hat
To top it off, put a Christmas hat on your fir . This small but effective addition gives your decoration an extra touch of festivity and finishing touch.
