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.
