Wire Tree Process (December 11)

Three smaller trees combined into one tree
To make a wire tree, first you have to cut pieces of wire that are of equal length. The number of wires you cut out varies. It depends on how big or thick you want your tree to be. The more wires you put together, the more branches you can make. Twist the wires in the area where you want the trunk until you have a solid stick. Spread the roots out for stability. Then, twist the top wires together to make branches. At any point, you can separate the wires to form smaller branches sticking out from the thicker ones. Make a few more trees and if you want, combine them together to make a bigger tree. That was what I did. I created two trees, one bigger and the other one smaller, and combined them. It looked kind of lopsided, so I created a third one and wrapped that one too. After putting them together, I had too many roots. I think I'll just cut a few.
