- The design is made on Tinkercad using Boba straw(10mm diameter) under 'Making at Home'.
- There are 5 sets of straw lengths 5 inches[(127mm) (1 straw)], 4 inches[(101.6mm)(6 straws)], 3 inches[(76.2)(12 straws)], 2 inches[(50.2mm)(19 straws)], 1 inch[(25.4mm)(23 straws)] stacked around in circle.
- A cylinder is used for CD reducing it to 1mm thickness and 120mm diameter.
- Make a 15mm hole in the center of the CD using a 15mm diameter cylinder.
- For the LED base 30mm diameter and 4mm thickness cylinder is used.
- The paraboloid is 12mm in diameter and 5mm in height for the LED flame.
- The center straw(127mm) is mounted on the LED flame.
- The entire tree sits on the CD with cotton along the periphery.
- The gift boxes are various sized 'box' shape.
- The ornaments are small spheres of diameter 11mm and cotton balls are 15mm spheres.
