This stylized Christmas Tree is a last year’s gift from a good friend. At that time it was too late for using it as a calendar but this year my little tree will work as such. It is made of different branches 1/2 – 3/4″ thick which are nailed to a triangle already resembling a Christmas Tree. The easiest way is doing it with an air nail gun but you can as well glue the branches or fix them with thin hemp rope. It looks really nice and highlights the 3-D effect if you nail small branches on both sides of the triangle.
Like for my first calendar proposal I’ll take bags, boxes or simply wrapped gifts. In between simply hang some Chistmas accessories and some fir-tree green just before giving it away.  Thus in the beginning the branches will be hidden under all the gifts. These gone on Christmas Eve you can add some Christmas balls and fresh fir-tree green to create a newly decorated tree.
