This fir tree is a challenging craft project. For this you need patience, because the handling of the flower wire when connecting the branches needs some practice. Get suggestions for handling in the illustrated guide.
The small fir tree looks beautiful as a decoration during the Advent season and is also suitable as a gift. Take a look at this craft project and have a lot of fun!
Uses as thick branches as possible.
Tip: Thinner branches are easier to cut with the garden shears.
Select a branch length for the lowest branch and cut each further branch a small piece shorter. This creates a fir tree.
Then you make a small star for the fir tree. First you bind two small branches across the cross and then you put another cross of small branches in between and connect them.
Now place the star at the top of the fir tree.
Now start to connect the individual branches with the wire from the bottom to the top. Knot the wire first in the middle of the lowest branch.
After that, you wrap the branch lying above it with wire in the middle and connect both branches with each other.
Connects one branch at a time. It's enough to wrap the branches with wire.
Wrap the wire around the branches until you arrive at the last branch.
Now you attach the star with the wire at the top by wrapping it as well. Then you bend a loop to hang it up. For this, you let the wire survive for 15cm and then cut it off. Rotate the end of the wire so that no more pieces stand out.
With hot glue you now stick a small piece of branch as trunk to the lower branch in the middle.
Attention when handling the hot glue - risk of injury!
The fir tree is ready.
Hang it up and align the individual branches again.
Have fun trying out and doing this fine motor exercise.
