A tree in a box

 

 Hi everyone!

You would like a christmas tree but you don"t have a lot of space?
Do you want a tree that can fit in a box? 
Yes? This tutorial is for you then.

I did used the fantastic explosion boxes polybesa template to do this tree.
What do you think? Do you want the same?

To do this tree, you need first to draw and  cut all the boxes of the polybesa template.
Decorate it. 
Then, you'll have to build 3 hexagonal boxes:

Draw the size 1 (the bigger) and the size 2 on the same paper. Then trace a line between the two dot line you did draw, in red on the top left photo. Before to cut, draw a tab to be able to close the box (photo on the top right). 

On the photo on the left bottom you can see the boxe (closed I did glue the tabs) over the first explosing box. It should be smaller that the explosing boxe 1 and a little bit bigger than the explosing box 2.

Turn over the hexagonal closed box and in the middle of the botom Slice 1 cm wide. Do the same in the middle of the haxagon of the explosion boxe 2.

Take a paper strip (I took one from the quiling paper). Put the paper strip throught the closed hexagone boxe from the top to the bottom. Glue it on the bottom, secure with tape.

Now put the paper stripe throught thre middle of the explosion boxe 2, put your explosion boxe 2 on the closed hexagone boxe, glue the paper stripe, secure with tape.

Repeat this process until the last explosion box. Glue the bottom of each hexagonal boxe on the precedent explosion boxe. 

To close: push the explosion box insde the closed hexagone boxe:

And here you can see the boxe closed:
