Wooden Christmas tree

• Learn how to draw a symetrical Christmas tree:

  • Draw a triangle as tall as you would like your tree to be.
  • Draw out some horizontal lines cutting through your triangle to mark out the position of the branches.
  • Draw out the tree outline following the lines you've just drawn.

• Draw out the tree on a piece of plywood with a pencil. (Remember not to draw the foot of the tree).

• Cut out the tree following the outline you've drawn, using a jigsaw.

• Sand the edges.

• Apply an undercoat of white paint on the entire surface of the wood.

• Leave to dry.

• Paint the tree green.

• Draw on some of the branches on the tree in green to give your tree some detail.

• Paint the trunk of the tree brown.

• Leave to dry.

Decoration of the tree

• Make some small felt Christmas figurines.

• Attach the first part of the velcro piece to the back of the felt figurine.

• Attach to the tree on the other half of one of the velcro strips, which are scattered around the tree.

• Decorate the tree with felt figurines.
