To design your own, use graph paper and color in the blocks to form the main pattern. Then fill out with background squares and add a row around the outside, plus the 1st border that gets cut. It is important to have the outside edges of the tree have good contrast with your background (ex: red or green on outside edges). The tree is a little like bowling pin set ups, except that if you just go 1,3,5, and 7 it will be a chunky tree. So better to do the top as 1, the next two rows as 3, the next 2 or 3 rows as 5, etc..... Counting the twisted pieces in each row, tells you how many squares were in that row. I think an Easter egg will start as 2 at the top, a couple rows of 4, a couple more of 6, then work my way back down-haven't drawn it on the graph paper yet, so need to do that to see the visual.
THIS IS ADDICTING!!!!!
When I did my jack-o-lantern , I used 5" squares and a 3 1/2" ruler. The same thing will work with any size squares and the appropriate size ruler. I don't have the smaller rulers.
If we used 3 1/2" or 4" squares, can some one tell us what size ruler that would use?
