Step by step
Step 1:
Create basic framework
Create a basic structure from paper or baking paper for the tree workpiece. Shape the paper into a tree structure. Secure the paper tree with wire and stick it on a wooden stick.
Step 2:
Cut the sheep's wool felt to size
In the next step, cut garland-like strips from the white sheep's wool felt "Mony Maker". These strips will later be wrapped around the base frame to create the tree.
Step 3:
Attach felt to the base frame
The next step is to attach the prepared sheep's wool felt strips to the base frame. Use hot glue to carefully stick the strips around the framework. Make sure to attach the strips evenly and overlapping to create a decorative and even surface for the tree. Leave a little space at the top for the tip.
Step 4:
Positioning the woollen cord
Carefully wrap the woollen cord "Smartfaden" around the upper part of the tree so that it is even and tight and then secure the ends of the cord with a small dab of hot glue to ensure that they do not slip.
Step 5:
Decorate
The next step is to decorate the tree as you wish, giving free rein to your creativity and adding various decorative elements such as small baubles, matching flowers or stars to give it a personalised and festive touch.
