• Break off tiny sections of lycopodium approximately 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch long and remove the bottom leaves with tweezers.
• Dip one of the longer branches in glue, and beginning at the base, begin to glue the branches into the tree base, setting each branch so it faces slightly up.
• Rotate the tree as you go, setting in more branches to create an even tree shape.
• Continue to insert branches until the tree is complete. Set it aside to dry.
• When your tree is completely dry, glue tiny beads to the branches as ornaments and add a glitter star to the top of the tree. Fine gold thread or Sulky Sliver thread can be used to make tiny garlands on the tree.
