PARTS LIST
1 green 6x8 plate
5 green 2x2 plates
1 green 2x2 brick
4 brown 1x1 bricks
1 red 2x2 smooth tile
1 red 2x2 brick
1 neon green transparent jewel
1 green transparent 1x1 cone
5 dark blue trans. 1x1 caps
5 red trans. 1x1 caps
4 medium blue transparent 1x1 caps
4 neon orange transparent 1x1 caps
28 green 1x2 45-degree slopes

Minifigure GAL PAL is assembled and includes:

1 blonde (dark tan) wig
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.
