Dive into the magical world of Christmas joy by conjuring up your own festive Christmas tree from designed wooden blocks in a few simple steps - a creative and sustainable craft idea that not only brings the festive atmosphere into your home, but also adds a personal touch to your Christmas decorations.

It's that simple:
Before you start, protect your workspace with a VBS handicraft mat.

For the big tree, glue two blocks together at the narrow edges with VBS handicraft glue. Then take 3 blocks and glue them on top of each other, overlapping by 2 cm. Repeat this process with another 3 blocks. After the glue has dried, apply VBS handicraft glue to the ends of the blocks and then glue the tree together. For the tree trunk, fix three blocks on top of each other. Glue them in the middle of the tree.

For the smaller tree, glue two blocks on top of each other with a 2 cm offset. Repeat this process with two more blocks. Take another block and glue the ends with handicraft glue. Now position the two glued blocks on the single block to create a fir tree shape. Apply some handicraft glue to the top of the tree.

After the trees have dried, fill the spaces between the blocks with more glue.

Once the trees are completely dry, they can be decorated as desired. On the big tree, you can attach a micro chain of lights from behind with hot glue. To do this, attach a magnet to the trunk, to which the battery compartment of the chain of lights is attached. It is not visible from the front and can be easily removed to change the batteries.

For further decoration of the Christmas trees, mix about 6 tablespoons of raisin with water to a creamy mass and pour out the letters "X Mas". After half an hour, remove the letters from the mould and smooth the edges with sandpaper. Glue them into the fir tree with VBS handicraft glue.

Finally, glue a star to the top of the tree. Paint the edges of the small fir with VBS craft paint pastel olive green. When dry, glue a star to the top of the tree with handicraft glue, as you did with the large fir.

Fill the casting moulds "Houses" with white creative casting slip (approx. 8 tablespoons). After half an hour, the houses can be removed from the mould, sanded again and glued to the fir.
