Trees for sale
Many of my friends advised me that I should maybe try to sell my trees - turn my hobby into a small business. Although I think this is far from a business and also the prices I will put for the trees are not going to cover even half of the work embedded in these trees (most of them take hours or even days to complete) I still think that I should try it. Prices that I will put next to each tree are in Canadian dollars and they don't include shipping. Please e-mail me what kind of trees would you like and also how many and I will send you the options for shipping. Also be aware that it will take me a couple of days to build the trees for you as I don't have a stock. Also the trees may vary from the pictures because I don't have like a template to use for each one. The good part is that each tree I make is better than my previous one as I become more experienced in making them.

Acacia - $39
This was the second tree I made (the first one I made I gave to my mother-in-law - I'm a perfect wife as you can tell). It's 26 cm tall and it's made of green beads (for leafs) and red beads (for fruits). I spend about 10 hours putting it together.
Materials:
- red beads
- green beads
- floral tape
- bare wire calibre 28
- glue sticks
- burnt umber acrylic paint- glass pot
- white mudding
- glue gun
Willow tree - $129
This is my preferred tree but it took me four days to make the branches and another one week to put the 200 branches together and give them a natural shape. The willow is 29 cm tall.
It's the tree I'm most proud of (so far).
Materials:
- green beads
- floral tape
- bare wire calibre 28
