Step 1: Cut 9 wires 15" long and twist like such using a hook tool.
Step 2: Put all your wires together and twist the loose ends until you have about 1 1/2" left.

Step 4: Using flat nosed pliers, get your roots to lay flat against your base of choice and glue into place.

Step 6: Flatten out your tree branches.
Step 7: Glue on your stones!
Step 8: When I got home and it dried, I bent my trunk and branches a little. Reminds me of a bonsai tree!
