Cut the iron wire a 30 cm.

Bend it double and attach it to the screwwed eye.

Cut ropes a 5 cm.

Place them between the double bended iron.

The 2 ens are helded by the clamb.

Put the 2 ends inside the battery drilmachine.

Operate the dril machine until the shape is like this.

Don't do to long or the wire will brake.

After do the same with the other end of the wire while holding it withe the flat nose pliers and give a few turns with het drill machine only.

Shape the tree with the scissors. Afterwards brush it with a comb. Like that the tree will have more volume.

Put the trees on a piece of foamboard and spray them in a colour. You can use an airbrush or just a spray dose.

Put some PVE glue on the stem and add some sawdust. To give the tree a nice shape you can model it with some hair gel.

 

Succes!
