Take one branch of each color and compare their lengths. Sort them from longest to shortest. Start at the bottom with the longest and work your way up the tree to the shortest at the top.

use 1x2 pieces of wood...drilling a hole about 2 inches from each end and inserting a bolt with a butterfly nut for each bolt...you will need to make it square and will need enough wood for 2 frames w/ 4 pieces each, 4 bolts and nuts...I'm not sure what you would put in the middle to actually place the plant on...I'm thinking paper, but you take the top frame off, place the plant on the paper, attach the top frame and tighten it with the butterfly nuts

no styrofoam??? aww that ruins some of the fun! i love crafty projects tho. okay you can use bakeable clay. it comes in a variety of colors and can be molded into many shapes. i would suggest working from the inside out and making it into a circle with a pie shaped cutout in it so you can see inside. basically you would make the clay figure and then bake it. you can spray it with a glossy finish and tadaa! oh, and to hang it from the ceiling? i guess you would need to screw in a metal hook beforehand. good luck!!

My roommate and I asked my Mom what she wanted for Christmas (30 years ago). Her reply was,"A money tree". I think she was trying to be "cute". Well, we got a branch from a tree, spray painted it with gold paint. Then we put it in a flower pot(painted gold). And took $50.00 worth of one dollar bills and fan folded them and taped them on the branches. Took change and taped them into a chain and draped it around the the "tree". When she open it, she laughed so hard she had tears in her eyes.

If you are close to a park with pine trees or pine trees maybe you can collect some pine cones and use them for decorations.  You can spray paint them different colors (Christmas colors) and maybe pray them with spray glue and sprinkle sequence or glitter on them to make them look for festive.  Another idea is getting red ribbon at the Dollar Store or Wal-Mart and making bows to put around the house.

Buy a large glass vase from Wal-mart (I picked one up this weekend for $1.97), a strand of 20 count lights ($.97 at Wal-Mart), and a bag of potpourrie ($1.00- I did a christmas scent, but this "craft" can be used year round, so maybe a scent/color combo that works well in thier homes?).\n\nPut the end few lights in the vase, add some potpourrie, add more lights, add more potpourrie, etc, etc, but leave the end of the cord out. I had some ribbon in my fabric bin that I used to tie a bow around the neck, and secure the cord down on the glass. When it's plugged in, as long as you have a vase with a large mouth and only slightly narrower neck (avoid the type that cinch in tight), enough air circulates that these light up air freshners are perfectly safe to use. The lights warm the potpourrie to give off scent, while looking pretty. They look nice in baskets, too.

Lighten up on the Christmas tree.  I don't think it will create a hostile environment unless someone (like you) makes it so.  Do you plan not to shop anywhere that Christmas trees are displayed?  Good luck with that!

Make some hot dogs in buns with polymer clay.  Also make some miniature popcorn holders...the red striped things.\n\nHow about laminating some baseball cards and putting those on the tree.

get some batteries, get some wires, and a very small lightbulb and a socket. So it should look like this:\nBattery(+) ... wire ... paperclip ... lightbulb ... wire ... (-)Battery

I had to do this before, but I had to make mine out of candy. If you're allowed to do that, use candy. It's pretty easy. Just get some wire, twist them to the right shape, and use different kinds of candy on them. Once you have those up, then you'll need the wires that go across to connect them. I find that candies like twizzles and gummy worms work well. It shouldn't take that long to make. Good luck!

buy a cheap mini xmas tree and get the kids to decorate it. They'll love the fact that they're helping you and it lets them be a little creative.

Try to make it at 3 feet.  It will probably be easier.  I'd probably use balsa wood.
