Using the template on Page 2, 
measure and cut out the cardboard 
triangles. You should have 16 when 
done. 
1
To crease the cardboard on the fold 
lines, lightly score it with the tip end 
of the Safe-Saw. 
2
Fold along the crease. Repeat this 
step to the remaining triangles. 
3
Use the Safe-Saw to punch holes in 
each triangle panel as shown on the 
template. 
4
Each module uses four identical 
triangle panels. Place the flap of one 
triangle over the edge of the second 
and align the holes. Screw in place.
5
Fold in the flaps below and screw 
the corners together to complete 
the triangular module. You should 
have 4 modules. 1x A, 2x B & 1x C.
6
Position the triangles on top of one 
another in the following order (from 
bottom to top): B - C - B - A.

There are endless ways to decorate 
your Christmas tree. Get creative 
and make your tree super special.
