FAMILY PHOTO TREE
Materials Needed:
• 20-gauge craft wire
• Pliers
• Rock
• Flowerpot
• Decorative Stones
• Family Photos
• Hole Punch
Directions:
Cut 24 two-foot lengths of 20- gauge craft wire. Separate the wires into 2 groups of 12 and lay them crosswise on your work surface. Place a rock atop the crossed wires, and then wrap the wires around the rock, twisting them together to create a 3-inch trunk. Separate the wires above the twisted portion into 2 or 3 groups, twist each group a few times, and then divide each into several smaller branches. Continue to twist and divide until the branches are 1 to 2 wires thick. Set the tree in a flowerpot and cover the base with decorative stones. Trim your photos into 2- to 3- inch-long leaf shapes, punch a hole at the top of each one, and hang them on the branches, folding up the ends of the wires if necessary.
