Building a 3D Tree.

[shooting_rubber]

Hello Everyone,

Can anybody give me some tips on how to build a 3D tree. I am talking about the ones shown on www.planetchristmas.com (http://www.planetchristmas.com). I know they give directions on how to make them on that website, but they dont seem to clear to me. How do you make the base to wrap the lights around it, and how do you anchor it into the ground.

These are just some questions I have about building a 3D Tree, because I plan on making a few this year.

Thanks.

I'm not sure which type of material you planned to use to make a 3D tree but here is a site for glass...

Not sure if these sites will help..
