Steps

  • Varnish all the wood slices (two coats).
  • Once dry, create drawings on the 10 wood slices using Posca markers and mini Christmas stencils.
  • On an 11th slice, create a woven star with pins in a "STRING ART" style (this step should be done by an adult). The child can then wind the waxed cotton thread around the pins.
  • Once the drawings are finished and dry, apply a coat of varnish to finish the slices.
  • Position the slices in the shape of a Christmas tree, spacing out the blank ones and those with drawings. To give the tree some relief, keep a few slices to place on top. Then, depending on the positioning, paint some slices in bronze to form a garland.
  • Using the mini glue gun, glue the first wood slices onto cardboard, working from the bottom to the top.
  • On the slice with the star, attach two pieces of jute twine to form a loop and glue it.
  • Optional step: cut out the outline of the tree with a cutter or decorate the cardboard around the tree.

An original tree for Christmas!
