Instructions

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.

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

3. The cut image out using a scroll or jewelers saw.

4. Decorate the tree: Cover the area you are working on with a tacky glue. Place the bead decorations first. then fill in with seed beads. Glue the larger decorations last. let dry then add a hanger.

5. Optional step: Cover the surface with Envirotex Resin. Be sure to follow the package instruction exactly.
