  1. The design is made on Tinkercad using Boba straw(10mm diameter) under 'Making at Home'.
  2. 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.
  3. A cylinder is used for CD reducing it to 1mm thickness and 120mm diameter.
  4. Make a 15mm hole in the center of the CD using a 15mm diameter cylinder.
  5. For the LED base 30mm diameter and 4mm thickness cylinder is used.
  6. The paraboloid is 12mm in diameter and 5mm in height for the LED flame.
  7. The center straw(127mm) is mounted on the LED flame.
  8. The entire tree sits on the CD with cotton along the periphery.
  9. The gift boxes are various sized 'box' shape.
  10. The ornaments are small spheres of diameter 11mm and cotton balls are 15mm spheres.
