To make the trees sturdier and symmetrical, cut a second tree for each shape by flipping the template over. This will create mirror images of each tree shape.

You can use alternative materials like old scraps of wrapping paper or fabric swatches by sandwiching a piece of cardstock in between to enhance their strength.
To elevate your winter woodland display, consider adding deer figurines, miniature stars, and delicate fairy lights around the dome.
