Curl Branches

Using a large taper candle, wrap each strip, which will be the branches, around until it’s curving out.

Secure Branches

Your branches should be cut to size and curled now. Apply a dab of hot glue to the tree and wrap the largest strip around the bottom of the tree. Repeat, slightly overlapping, until you reach the top of the tree. Before you wrap the top layer, cover the very top of your tree with a round piece of paper and fold down the edges. Then glue the remaining strip of branches around it.
