I had wanted to make this tree for the past few years. But it looked like a labor intensive project & I always thought of making it in December… when I didn’t have that much time to spare. So this became a perfect quarantine 2020 project. I couldn’t decide whether to make a green one or a white one. But hey, it’s quarantine, so I made both! This file is from SVGCuts dot com. And based upon Mary’s recommendation, I replaced the bulbs that came with the lamps with LED lights. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
UPDATE: Later this year, I made one for Halloween.
Phase 1 of assembly:
Phase 2 of assembly. Looking somewhat like a hedgehog…
Finished with the green tree:
This is the bulb that came with the lamp:
After replacing with an LED… WOW!!!
This is a neat project But allow a lot of time for it. Since most of the adhering was small flaps, I had to use glue. (I normally prefer tape runner.) And because you’re manipulating the paper into a shape, you really need to glue small portions & then let them fully dry before continuing on. If you get the time, patience & energy to do this project, it is a beautiful one.
