Trees

Here is a quick tutorial on making trees.

Material used:

Rope


Copper wire cut to required size and bent into U shape.


Cut rope to required sizes and flare. Insert it into copper wire.


Insert wire into variable drill, clamp bottom with pliers and start drill.


Your tree should look something like this now.

Here is the basic layout on the right hand side of my room. This is where I am starting from.
