1 red 2x2 smooth tile
1 red 2x2 brick
1 neon green transparent jewel

Minifigure GAL PAL is assembled and includes:

1 female head w/red lipstick
1 medium blue torso with pink blouse and necklace
1 white hips/legs


Step 1: Begin by placing 4 brown 1x1 bricks on green 6x8 plate as shown to serve as “tree trunk”. Add 1 dark blue 1x1 transparent cap to serve as a “dropped ornament”. Place red 2x2 smooth tile on top of red 2x2 brick to build “ornament box”, and add to green 6x8 plate as shown. Add green 2x2 brick to the top of 4 green 2x2 plates as shown to form tree base. Place the neon transparent jewel in green transparent cone. Add transparent caps to the bottom slope end of 16 green 1x2 45-degree slopes as shown, (four of each color).


Step 2: Begin the tree assembly by adding 8 green 1x2 45-degree slopes to the tree base you built in Step 1. You’ll need 4 blank slopes and 4 slopes to which you added the transparent caps. Be sure to use one of each color, (red, medium blue, neon orange and dark blue), to distribute the colors around the tree. Slopes with caps will overhang tree base.


Step 3: Add the next row of slopes as shown, using four with caps and four without.


Step 4: Add four remaining green 1x2 45-degree slopes without caps for row three.


Step 5: Use four slopes with caps for row four, with caps overhanging previous row.


Step 6: Use four remaining slopes with caps, offsetting to overhang previous row.


Step 7: Add the remaining green 2x2 plate to the top of the tree assembly.


Step 8: Place jewel/cone on top of tree assembly as shown to serve as tree-topper ornament.


Step 9: Carefully place tree assembly on brown 1x1 bricks, add red cap to minifigure hand.


Notes: Once you complete the CHRISTMAS TREE add the minifigure and you are ready for a festive season of sharing in your brick city or town! Your CHRISTMAS TREE will work well for play as well as display.

Step 1: Begin by assembling all the components used to create the greenhouse. Build 4 stacks of 3 clear transparent 2x2 slopes for the roof. Create 4 stacks of 4 dark pink 1x1 bricks to serve as the columns at each corner of the greenhouse. Remove red flowers from center sprues and place on green stems, stack stalks in 3 groups of two for bouquets. Stack both green transparent 1x1 cones, add yellow 2x2 flower and top with the orange 1x1 cap to create the sunflower. Build 9 stacks of 4 clear transparent 1x2 bricks. Assemble the 2 “gable roof ends” by stacking 3 clear transparent 1x2 bricks as shown, and then add the dark pink 1x2 45-degree slopes. Now you have all the components assembled to being constructing the greenhouse.


Step 2: Begin by adding 3 stacks of clear 1x2 bricks and 2 stacks of dark pink 1x1 bricks to the green 6x8 plate as shown to form the back wall of the greenhouse.


Step 3: Add the sunflower situated between four pegs at back of green plate as shown.

Step 5: Add 2 stacks of 1x2 clear bricks to each side of the green 6x8 plate.


Step 6: Add remaining dark pink columns and stacks of clear bricks to build front wall.


Step 7: Add one of the gable roof ends to the back wall of the greenhouse.


Step 8: Carefully add the 4 stacks of clear slopes to build the greenhouse roof.


Step 9: Add the remaining gable roof end to the front wall of the greenhouse.


Step 10: Carefully add the white 2x6 tiles to the roof; this will require a light touch.


Step 11: Place remaining flower bouquet on the minifig hand and you’re done!


Notes: Once you complete the PINK GREENHOUSE, you and minifigure “Eve” will be ready for a busy season of greenhouse gardening and flower harvesting. Your new PINK GREENHOUSE will work well for play as well as display.
