Autumn and winter trees are made from dried twigs and weeds. Leafed-out
trees are made from clothesline _wire_ and lichen. Twist wire into tree
skeleton shape. See art books on “how to draw trees” for different tree
skeletons and silhouettes. Cover wire trunk with paper mache mix and
model to resemble bark. Tear off small clumps of lichen and glue to wire
branches with Elmer’s glue. Drape some pieces over several branches.

Drill hole in base, glue tree in place. Use paper mache to build up base
of tree and to model exposed roots.
