Putting tree together

Using score board, place 3 of the trees so the top of the tree sits in the groove and score the length of the tree. On base layer add liquid glue either side of the score line and add to layer, add two small square dimensionals (mini dimensional squared) as shown.

Add liquid glue to the second tree on the score line but do not add glue to the tip or trunk, fold on score line adhere on top of previous tree between the dimensionals, add two more dimensionals but higher this time.

Add the final tree, by adding glue to the score line again not to tip or trunk. Adhere on top of previous trees between the dimensionals. Add embellishments to the top tree as required.
