A group of freinds exchanged Christmas Tree Decorations with a cost under $5.00. I made this from stuff I had left over from other projects.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • Saw

Steps (5 steps, 120 minutes)

  1. 1

    Draw your interpretation of a Christmas tree the exact size you want it. Keep it simple. Mine is 6" high and about 2.5 inches wide at the base.

    Use a piece of scrap clear acrylic sheeting. Place the sketch under the sheeting and trace with a permanent marker.
