Step 1

Step 1: Big Christmas Tree

We used a SP500 laser to cut our Christmas tree and 5 pieces of 51.2" x 29.5" cardboard. You can customize the design of the tree according to your wishes—let your imagination run wild! After cutting out the parts, you need to put them together. This guide shows how to assemble the tree. Download the manual here.

Furthermore, this tree can be decorated with classic Christmas ornaments—of course, it is also very decorative without any balls or glitter.
