The trees are easy to make just take alot of time. I found everything to make them at Hobby Lobby, 12" wood dowels in assorted diameters and platic asparagus fern then covered with ground foam. I tappered the dowels on the bench grinder and then racked a hand miter saw down them to give them some deep groves. Painted with craft paint, burnt umber and brown. Drilled holes 1 level at a time, cut the fern pieces to size and inserted with alittle glue to hold, let dry and then sprayed dilluted glue water and soap mixture on and sprinkled with ground foam after all the branches are in place. Almost forgot i drilled a hole in the bottom and inserted a piece of wire to help when you place where you want it.
