1. using a saw cut dowels to lenght then use knife to add a point If desired add a peice of wire or nail to the bottom to let the tree stand up.
2. using the teeth on a saw scrap the dowel to creata "Bark" using different saw blades will result in different textures
3 Using acrylic paints and water wash the dowels with the color fo your choice. Let the color soak in and avoid painting the dowel
4 Let Dry and move onto "leaves"
