make a tree in simple way for dioramas...
« on: December 16, 2011, 01:30:29 pm »

Good Evening all of my Friends...all we know, yes, sure, trees and foliage are unavoidable content of a scenic display..it may be anything to anything, from railroad to war scenes...or a wind mill..anyway, a scenic display will not be full filled without trees..but, buying a model tree is far expensive..and most of the time, it must not be according to our plan..and idea..so, think about to making a tree of our own, in our idea, and look stunning and real..in any scale..

this is my "TREE OF HOPE", to display in Christmas  evening..i tried to collect some trees, but wasn't possible to attain, and was toy like, mostly used in aquariums..so i turned to my work tables..and a tree...

how much we can spent on a tree model..?  here only a 30 Rs...and what we need in hand at once..any expensive items..?  no..all handy...

diagram 1, 2 shows, a thin aluminum wire acquired from an hardware shop..you can use any wire, but avoid taking metal wires as they tends to rust..aluminum or brass wires are ideal..

second diagram shows, the basic material, is used to clean kitchen utensils, is cheap, costs about 4 Rs/- each...

Friends i am adding the missed steps...

dip the pinched foliage in glue and squeeze out any excess glue...
apply some blobs of un diluted white glue on to the branch tips and place the foliage over it...
