My Christmas Sampler

Some of you bought my kit or came to class to do this fun project.  For those who bought the kit, and for anyone who has the energy and supplies to cut their own....Here's the instructions for putting together.
Supplies you'll need: Hot glue gun, green tombow glue, a piercing tool, glue dots and snail adhesive.
I used towbow liquid glue to adhere everything to the wood.  
Finish putting together each piece before you start to glue anything to the frame
Lay each piece out so that you have evenly spaced pieces before you begin to glue down. You'll notice their is more space at the top because you will be putting your snowflake pieces there. They were tricky to cut out so you may find some piecing but it should not be noticeable once it's placed on your frame.
This is your finished project

You should have all these supplies in your kit
 up close of the right side

up close of the bottom--see video below

up close of the top...this should be your last step
Use hot glue gun for the top of frame.
place your green fronds in place to the right and left of the hole in the wood. Gently
lift the inside of each side, putting a dollup of hot glue and replacing the greens...this area should not show because the bow will cover it.  Then, put a dollup of hot glue in the center, over the hole and place and hold ribbon in place for a minute til glue cools.

Heres a few video tips as you are putting your project together 

you'll see that I've taken a fine marker and shaded the left side of the city buildings...it really gives is a pop.  Note: windows and doorways are shaded on the right side because if the light from the star is coming from the right, all the shadows will be behind anything that is to the right of it.

how to assemble to tree...you'll take a piercing tool and pop forward each cut out, curling it slightly, Then apply some tombow glue to the flat areas on the back and center on full tree cut out.
