Christmas time is the best time of the year and my family and I look forward with much anticipation to the home decorating
After you have cut and sanded the edges of the pipes, start putting the pieces in the tree-shaped space on the board, we want to agree on a design BEFORE we glue them to the surface and the kids got involved with this part of the project, they are more creatively inclined that I was. We finally bickered over which design was best and it was time to glue them on to the surface of the board using epoxy, remind the kids to be extra careful when handling the pipes that have the glue on it too, we don’t want any problems. Let the pipes dry it will take about 24 hours; finally, you and your family can start to put into the PVC pipes ornaments, battery powered tea lights or anything really that you want to display for the season. Now it’s time to hang it up on the wall or just lean it against the wall, whichever works. This was a creative option for you guys if you want to move away from the traditional Christmas trees and the like. Please remember to like the video and share with your friends and family!
