Hi, expert to convey y'all here!
I'm forthwith inwards amount Easter vogue as well as today's projection totally rocks, if I powerfulness state so. ;)
This year's Easter egg tree persuasion came from none other than my talented friend Jaime from That's my Letter. Last calendar week I happened to halt past times her weblog as well as read everything most this project, guess what? I loved it, but my heed kept on changing her master projection to a lilliputian tree.
So, that's what I created...
an Easter egg tree!
The materials as well as tools you'll need:
- 1 Dowel ½" x 48"
- 2 Dowels ¼" x 48"
- 1 Round forest base of operations - 4" dia.
- Wood glue
- Drill alongside ¼" drill chip as well as a smaller bit
- ¼" Spade drill bit
- Hand saw
- Tape measure
Use the saw cutting i 16½" slice out of the ½" dowel.
From the ¼" dowels cutting 2 pieces each at the next lengths 7", 10", as well as 12"
Once all the pieces are cut, it's fourth dimension to drill the holes on the principal ½" dowel oculus support. From the bottom upwards at 5", 6½", 9", 10½", 13", as well as 14½", alternating their seat for each gear upwards to live i dowel perpendicular to the other.
For drilling the holes inwards the ½" dowel showtime brand a hole alongside a drill chip smaller than the ¼" needed.
Once all openings are done, y'all tin become ahead as well as insert the ¼" crossed pieces (picture below). Sometimes they don't fit, y'all but involve to become i time again alongside the drill bit, however, it's amend for they to convey a tight fit. I didn't fifty-fifty exercise gum on these.
Finally, discovery the oculus on the forest base of operations as well as using the ¼" Spade drill chip grade a hole one-half agency the thickness of the base. Insert the tree as well as secure it alongside glue. I also drove a modest boom from underneath upwards the base of operations for amend support.
You tin forthwith pigment it as well as decorate it whichever agency y'all desire to. I spray painted it white. Colorful wooden beads were glued on each destination of the dowels. As a lastly touching on it was overstep off alongside a crystal knob I had on hand.
Here it is, all create to live decorate it.
The same lilliputian figures from my lastly yr Easter egg tree were used here.
This is going to live the centerpiece on our Easter tabular array HERE..
