Frequently asked questions

Which colors are best to use?
Green is of course the main color, but use your favorite colors for the ornaments and presents!

You can, but drawing freehand actually makes the tree extra playful and real.
What if I make a mistake with the guide lines?
No problem, we draw those lines very lightly so you can easily erase them later.

You can put small jagged edges or lines on the sides for a prickly effect.
