> 1.Lay one craft stick down vertically for the tree trunk. Lay
>four
> or five craft sticks horizontally over the stick that is the
>trunk of
> the tree for the branches of the tree. Use the pencil to mark
>the
> desired width for the branches. A graduated tier looks nice
>with
> the top branch being the shortest and increasing in size with
>the
> bottom stick being the same length of the tree trunk. Use the
> heavy garden shears to cut the sticks at about a fourth of an
> inch of the pencil mark. After the sticks have been cut, use
>the
> sandpaper to round the ends of each branch of the tree.
> 2.Lay down a piece of wax paper and paint the trunk and
> branches of the tree green on both sides and along the edges.
> Let the paint dry between the tops and bottoms of the sticks.
>A
> green marker can be used to paint the trunk and branches if
> desired, but the color is not as bright.
> 3.When the paint has dried on all the sticks, use the glue to
> assemble the tree and let dry.
> 4.Glue on the buttons where desired for the ornaments of the
> tree. A star button for the top of the tree looks particularly
>nice.
> 5.Glue a five to six inch piece of the gold string to the back
>of the
> top of the tree for a hanger. Small pieces of the gold string
>can
> also be added across the branches for garland if desired.
> Note: This project can be a package tie-on or a tree ornament.
