Information

      Between delicate branches and rustling leaves, two little birds sat close together.
They had always chosen the same place – under their tree, which grew a little higher into the sky year after year.

His roots held her, his branches protected her, and with each new leaf he reminded her that her love was allowed to grow—slowly, strongly, and steadily.

Sometimes they looked into the distance, over the wide earth behind them. To where there were no borders.
Where the wind told stories and the horizon promised that anything is possible.

The tree gave them support. The earth gave them freedom and they gave each other their hearts.

So they stayed – not because they had to, but because they kept coming back for each other.

Two little birds.
A common place.
And a love that grew a little further with every day.

Instruction

Step1

Preview

First of all, all parts are carefully lasered.
We have deliberately divided the round elements into two segments so that there is as little waste as possible and the material can be used optimally.

In addition, we have glazed the two "front" plates with dark paint, then the engraving comes into its own much better. If a light wood color is desired, I would refrain from engraving the "Welt" plate, as it is very strong, but that is of course a matter of taste.

Then it's time to glue the individual elements.
Please start with the thin struts first and carefully glue them – as you can see in the picture – to the designated places.

We used superglue for this because it adheres quickly and provides a secure hold.

The struts later provide stability and serve as guidance and support for the movable lattice arches.

Step3

Preview

As soon as all four semicircular struts have been glued on, the assembly of the movable lattice arches follows. These are also carefully glued – attach them first to one plate and then to the other.

Work carefully so that everything is clean.

And then it's time to say: Tadaaa – your little wooden decoration is ready!

Another little tip:
Of course, you can also illuminate your wooden candle arch - for example with an LED candle, an LED stripe or a small, cute string of lights.

This creates a warm, cozy light and in the evening love flutters into your house twice.
