"How to make a Halloween Tree. We have a few ideas here on the table and I'll tell you about a few others here when we're done. But one of the easiest trees really to make is just something easy out of twigs or corn husks, or any of those kind of things. Just simply putting them over a stick base, screwing them on to the solid base so that it can stand, and just using wire or other whatnots. Just simply tie around the twigs, taking them out into the branches and just decorating them the way you need your tree. This can be done in a variety of different sizes, depending on what size you need your tree to be. You can just as easily make something out of cardboard. This is a three dimensional tree as you can see. Or you can just simply make it one dimension, making it flat say you needed a lot of trees to hang up against the wall as scenery or whatnot, those are all very easy to make. Once you cut them out of the construction paper, out of the construction cardboard then you would just simply paint it up at will, making it whatever kind of color you want, perhaps adding some decorations, just depending on what you want your tree to look like. There's also even simpler. Let's say you just have a bunch of magazines lying around and you want some kind of crazy little center piece thing with scary trees and lots of little do-hickies hanging from them and whatnot. Spider webs and other such scary things for your trees. You could easily just do something like this out of magazine which is simply rolled up with some rubber bands shredded down, some black spray paint on it to give it a little bit of a sticky effect going in and twisting them all around. These are all very simple easy ways to do it. Another suggestion is to go out into your backyard or a local area where there perhaps would be some tree branches that have recently fallen off of some trees, taking something like that and putting it into a bucket with cement, giving you a very realistic tree that you can put anywhere. Another great idea for a Halloween tree is to do a paper machete style. Get some chicken wires, some newspaper, glue, water, the basic needs for paper macheing. You can create that any size, any shape, they make great for indentions, for owls and scary things to come climbing out, make great shapes for scary wizard of oz like looks, anything that would call for an overly large Halloween tree, the chicken wire paper machete style tree are going to be a great choice. If you're look for a simple simple way to go, get yourself a large refrigerator box from you know one of your local stores and lay that flat, draw out your tree, color it up with some paints, lay it up against the wall, prop it up against something and you got yourself a really really simple easy Halloween tree. These are all great ideas for making Halloween trees."
