deveopment of my tree so i have used papier mache to biuld up the tree after several layer i have fomed a good soild sturcure that will be either spray painted or painted several shades of brown
fort the branches i will use green crape paper that will be tightly streached and mached on top of my branches the reason i will use crape paper is because when formed on the top of the branches it emerges together and creates a bold colour when mixed in with the pva glue

to create the bave of my tree ihave uved large card bord tubes for the base of my tree i have then added bulk to his by creating areas that come away from the tree by taping certain areas that stand out i have then paper mached over the areas using paper newspaper and pva glue
to create the brances i have use dthe widest bendaable wire i could find that could create a simular shape to the tree branches

the creating part of my tree the tree that i have started to create i have first used hard cardbord tubes as the main base and trunk of my work i have then built on top of that by using paper that i have built up from this has given my tree extra bulk and created the 3d effect of my tree i ahve then built on tp of that by using papir mache with pva glue newspaper
for the branches i have used metal bendable wire that i have bond together i am please with the brances i think that what made the branches look quite realistic was the with of them.
