The process of making this tree out of wire is actually very simple.

First, you have to find a wire that is thin and easy to bend. I went with a 0.5 gage wire and twisted multiple pieces together.

After spray painting the main roots of the tree gold, I went on to making the leaves. This is the most time consuming part of the process.

First, make a simple cut out of a leaf and cut the template out ofa thin sheet of metal. I used a double sided metal that had one side gold and the other side silver.

You could easily use tin foil, but this might crumple too easily. After cutting and etching some lines in the leaves for some flare, I attached each leaf

to a random piece of wire that came out of the twisted root. It's not necessary to make leaves for all extended pieces of wire, because then it may

be difficult to see the wire work underneath. All in all, this project requires a lot of twisting and cutting thin pieces of metal.

When the light hits the leaves, the tree sparkles and creates fascinating illumination.
