Steps:
Step 1. Assemble the Base.
- I used 10 blocks to assemble the base for the tree.
Step 2. Assemble Tree Branches.
- Hot glue 3 tumbling tower blocks together, end to end.
- Hot glue a craft stick to the back of each set.
Step 3. Drill Center Hole.
- With a ruler or measuring tape find the center of each branch and drill a hole.
- Make sure the drill bit is a little larger than the dowel to make adding the branches to the dowel easier.
Step 4. Stain Branches and Dowel.
- Create a colored stain of your choice using acrylic paint and water.
- Stain everything using this mixture.
Step 5. Attach Dowel to Base.
- Hot glue another block to the top center of the base.
- Drill a hole in the block you just added only.
- Fill hole with hot glue.
- Push dowel into hole and hold until it sets up.
Step 6. Apply Sealant to Branches (Optional)
- The paint and water stain will be very dull. I recommend using gloss Mod Podge to give the branches a little shine.
- This step is optional.
Step 7. Apply Branches to the Dowel
- Push the branches onto the dowel.
- If a branch doesn't want to fit use a pair of scissors to clean out or enlarge the hole.
- Push all the branches down to the bottom of the dowel.
- After all branches are on the dowel it is time to arrange the branches as desired.
- What I did: Each branch was turned to the edge of the branch below. Hard to explain but if you watch the video you'll understand.
Step 8. Paint Star. (Optional)
- I used a large metal star and painted it with white chalk paint.
- I then used a sanding block to make the star look more rustic.
- This step is optional.
Step 9. Add Embellishments.
- Add any embellishments you want to your tree to make it your own.
- What I did: I hot glued the star to the dowel and then added a buffalo check ribbon under the star.
