Create your own festive fir tree as an eye-catcher!
Step 1: Shape the base of the fir tree
Start by gluing three wooden balls together 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 tree.
Step 2: Building the structure of the fir tree
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 wooden balls already prepared for the base of the fir tree. To secure the top of the fir, glue the last 3 rows of wooden balls to the top. This not only gives your fir tree support, but also gives it a decorative lace.
Step 3: Designing creative houses
For the next step, mix the moulding powder into a creamy mixture according to the instructions. Pour this mixture into the desired moulds that will define your future houses. After a waiting time of around 45 minutes, you can mould 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 tree to create a wintery scene.
Step 4: Top the fir tree with a Christmas cap
To top it off, put a Christmas hat on your fir tree. This small but effective addition gives your decoration an extra touch of festivity and perfection.
