4. The mixture should have the consistency of ghee.
5. Now you need to work quickly, because the plaster begins to dry quite quickly. If the mixture is sufficiently dense, the bump will stand on its own.
6. When the gypsum has dried, remove the plastic. Just make an incision, and then remove it with your hands. Plastic is easy to remove. The base is ready.
7. Then paint the bump green. If a child wants a very bright Christmas tree, use more paint and generously sprinkle with a shine until it dries.
8. When the top is done, go to the base, paint white and sprinkle with a silver sheen.
9. Once the paint has dried, gently shake off the bumps over the newspaper. If you do not, bracks will be everywhere!
