Step 2: Place the 4 white 1x2 profile bricks on the dark pink 4x4 plate to create the perimeter of the planter. Assemble green limb/leaf parts as shown in groups of three.


Step 3: Add the white 1x2 smooth tiles to the planter perimeter. Add tree trunk. Stack flower stems, place on green transparent cone. Add bright pink and red caps to limbs.


Step 4: Carefully place limb and cap assemblies on the tree trunk, rotating each of the three assemblies to create the tree canopy. Add remaining red cap to peg in center of tree.


Alternatives: Limbs can also be stacked and rotated individually to create a different look to the branch canopy. More colored caps can be added to tree limbs as flowers or fruit.
