How to do it
1 Shape a triangle from the bonsai wire. Prepare to shape the foot of the tree by making sure that the joint of the bonsai wire is at the bottom of the triangle.
2 Shape the foot of the tree in a spiral. Make it wide so that the tree can still stand even though the gauze bandage is heavy. Cut the bonsai wire with an ordinary pair of scissors.
3 Soak the gauze bandage in water, let the excess drip off and wrap it around the triangular shape. Do not cover the stand. Leave the gauze bandage to set.
4 Paint the hardened gauze bandage shape with Plus Color craft paint and leave to dry before the next step.
5 Attach rhinestones with liquid glue (Clear Multi Glue Gel).
6 Cut out a star from gold metallic foil card and attach it onto the top of the tree using Clear Multi Glue Gel.
