Instructions for making a picture tree
CAUTION: When crafting the picture tree, you absolutely have to be there the whole time, because your child can easily injure himself on the hot glue gun!
- First you break off a small piece of the bark, which will later be used as a picture frame stand
- Then you simply stick all the beautiful things that you can find and that you like onto the bark. These can be stones or bows, but also leaves or pearls. This is where your imagination counts!
- You stick the things with the all-purpose glue on the bark. Anything that doesn’t hold up can be fixed with hot glue.
- Stick the photos of your child in the middle of the tree bark.
- Finally, use the hot glue gun to attach the small piece of bark to the back of the piece of bark you have glued on in such a way that the picture tree can be stood upright.
