To make a Christmas tree decoration you will need…
- 6 large sticks
- Potting grit
- Plant pot
- Hot glue gun
Step 1
Pick out the longest, straightest stick of the bunch and lay it down on the table. This will be the spine of the tree.
Step 2
Use the glue gun to attach the 5 remaining sticks (horizontally and evenly spaced) down the length of the spine. Leave to dry.
Step 3
Stand your tree in the pot. Shovel the grit in around the base, compressing down with your hand afterwards.
Position your Christmas tree and add some decorations!
