Tsuru Tree

Finding this tree branch was very difficult! I simply could not find a good enough branch. Either they were too thin or were too ugly ... To give you idea on my madness level: one day I left home with a broom, in the case I found a beautiful branch near here which I could not reach. 8-P

One day I got tired of being the crazy tree girl on the street, and turned into the crazy tree girl on the internet (even though searching the web for sites selling branches, and sending them through the post mail, doesn't sound a good idea) . Then, in one of those moments of inspiration I thought, "Why not make a tree branch myself??" Then the ideas flowed like butter on a warm bread!

I searched for a tutorial about making wire trees, and found one teaching how to make small trees. It was basically what I had to do, only bigger.

It is made of twisted wire to form the branches, masking tape, and colorful spray. I confess that when I came across that big wire roll I almost regretted the idea. But after a lot of pain in the back, pierced hands and twisted wires, the result was nice! The good thing is that I could do almost the same shape of the tree from the movie! X-D

Then came the origami tsurus. Note, I also did not find any store that sold origami paper in my town. And even after ordering origami paper, I still had to learn to make the tsurus! :-P

After losing almost a whole bag of origami paper trying to make the foldings, I made it! The sacrifice was worth it, the result was great! \o/
