How to proceed

You cut out your foam with a sharp knife, a cake of 30 cm.
It gives you a circular motion (type of yin-yang) from, from narrow to wide in the middle. You can do this drill with a sharp apple, or carefully with a paring knife. Conservation is at the bottom of the cake a few cm soil, because you must be pinned up in green.
Line the hollowed out cake pan with white poplar using glue or wallpaper paste pin (but then it takes much longer to dry)
Cut a circle out of cardboard with an inner circumference 4 cm larger than the circumference of your cake from poplar.
Glue here with glue stick (for cardboard takes more moisture) on poplar.
Cut pine green briefly and make up the opening. You need to just above the pine green cake out. Start your settlement on the outside and inside so the wide side of the figure. Put down the branches with straw staples 3 cm.
Alternate, now pine green, eucalyptus branches with berries, a few Christmas balls, which binds the wires together and who also put down with staples straw into the Styrofoam.
Keep filling at the same thickness, so you do not get holes.
Cut with an iron rod or iron wire scissor lever pieces 3 pieces of about 5 cm. Heat ends in a flame and put it at the bottom of your candle. Your candle is now three feet and can therefore safely dry your abeeltaart stand.
Prick your candle on the end of your filling securely.
Cut and tie branches Cornus this pendulum decorated board. Wrap the wire several times around a twig, leave about 5 cm of wire and wrap the next stick firmly. If you Cornus is dry, you will have branches in further drying does not fall out. If the Cornus still fresh, then you have the chance of sprigs of gimp your board falls in the dry.
