Instructions

  1. Small hpim7888 1261343721

    Search some old carton and adhesive paper tape.

  2. Small hpim7890 1261343895

    Make a tree trunk from the carton and the tape.

  3. Small hpim7893 1261344017

    With the iron wire you make the branches of the tree. Make sure it is very strong wire. I used wire from old plastic flowers.

  4. Small hpim7896 1261344180

    I tape the branches.

  5. Small hpim7899 1261351711

    When you have the base for your tree, you can start with making the tree with plaster bandages. I put the "tree" on an old iron socle.

  6. Small hpim7901 1261351930

    Cut the plaster bandages in small pieces, so they are easier to use. Get a bowl with water and then slip the plaster bandages one by one in the water.

  7. Small hpim7906 1261352081

    Just paste the plaster bandages around the carton. First you make the trunk and then the branches.

  8. Small hpim7910 1261352214

    Let it dry...

    Now you can decorate the tree like you want... enjoy.
