Glue both sides of the Christmas tree tags together and insert string

• Now the lighter is used. Under no circumstances let your children do this step alone. It is best to light a large candle and place it firmly on the table.
• Prepare the cords by cutting off 8-10 cm long pieces that you will later insert as holders for the Christmas tree pendants.
• Now hold the first cut out motif with one side over the candle so that one side completely softens and that wax slowly begins to melt.
• Now place this with the hard side on a surface and insert the cord on the soft side so that the two open sides protrude from the wax side and a loop. You have to do this step as quickly as possible until the wax dries.
• After inserting the cord, place the second cut out motif from the beeswax sheet on the softened side of the first. So you seal the cord and the Christmas tree trailer now consists of two sides. Squeeze these together and let dry. This firmly anchors the cord and makes the Christmas tree trailer more durable.
• Repeat this process for all Christmas tree pendants that you want to make out of beeswax sheets and at the end you have a beautiful ensemble together.
