Step 3: Post-processing

To assemble the Christmas tree, thread the bands through the single rings starting with the smallest one.

Fasten the rings with knots or use super glue to hold them in position. In our sample we used a distance of 25 - 30 cm between the rings.

Now let your creativity flow and decorate the acrylic tree with any items you like.


ATTENTION:

Do not use candles with real flames for this acrylic tree. Use electrical candles or light chains to illuminate the tree.

Inspirations

  • You can refine the design by adding engravings or changing the shape of the cutting contour.
  • For a taller tree with more rings, use a second acrylic sheet and integrate the additional rings into the tree.
