so, my boss just left my work, and i’m supposed to make a christmas tree out of bags of these: ![http://www.pliusa.com/images/easy-pack.jpg](http://www.pliusa.com/images/easy-pack.jpg) it has to be able to be moved, study, and about 6 feet tall. all i have to work with are a damn near unlimmited supply of green peanuts in bags (like shown above), clear shipping tape, and a bunch of boxes. no zip ties, super glue, or anything that would make this easy. any ideas? just curious to see what everyone comes up with. ---

Lay out a nice base about 4’ in diameter. Lay down rolls of tape about 1/2" in from the edge covering the whole thing, lay down another (smaller obviously) layer of peanuts. 4hrs later, you’ll have a tree. ---

make a 6’ cone from the boxes… and then apply the tape on it sticky side up, then throw peanuts at it. ---

i’d eat a few. then make a structure that is the shape of a tree first, and glue them on it. easiest way…and you’ll be able to move it around. then take pics and post them. then quit. ---
