Making a diorama
Chapter 7 continued: Making trees

This is a tree armature that comes in the tree making kit.

   
Bend the branches so they take a three dimensional natural shape.
   
Apply your glue liberally to many of the branches. Do not cover the entire tree. Remember that trees have areas with leaves and areas without leaves.
   

While the glue is still tacky dip your tree armature in the bag of foliage and spin it around. Take the tree out and examine it. Add more glue as you see necessary and dip the tree again. You can put more glue on the tree and add the foliage by hand for the finishing touches.

Don't just use one type of foliage material. Vary the colors and the textures. T

 

   
Here is a photo of a completed tree. It looks great! allow the glue to dry.
