Step 1

Step 1: Big Christmas Tree

We used a SP500 to cut our Christmas tree and 5 pieces 1300 x 750 mm 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 them how to assemble the tree. Download the manual here.

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