Materials Needed:
- Clear Glass Gems (standard size and mini gems) – (Available from Wholesalers USA)
- Styrofoam Stack Tree
- Foam Paint Brush
- Paint Color of Choice
- E6000 or Hot Glue Gun
Instructions:
1. Assemble stack tree according to directions. (Most require the rings to be pressed together with a slight twist.)
2. Paint each ring of the tree in desired color. Allow to dry.
3. Using either E6000 or hot glue gun, adhere the glass gems to the tree. Easiest method is to lay the tree on its side and work your way from the bottom to the top.
4. Place a small amount of adhesive to the back of your gem and place on bottom rung. Press into place. **Be sure that the edge of the gem is flush with the edge of the tree. If it hangs below the ring, it will not stand flat.**
5. If using E6000, work on one side from bottom to top and allow to dry before turning the tree and continuing on the other side. The gems will slide if not completely dry!
6. When dry, turn the tree and continue adhering the gems from bottom to top.
7. Repeat this process until the tree is covered in gems.
