A way to make them look good (though time consuming) that I have come up with. You twirl wires around themselves many times and build it up to the desired shape you want each time. Next you want to find some non-kiln self drying clay to mold around the wire. Once you have molded the clay around the wire and got it to its desired shape you should then take a Xacto and cut bark structure into the tree (slashes from the top to the bottom). Let the clay dry and then as a final step take paint and color it to the desired tree color (to make sure you dont waste your time I would first make a thin sheet of clay and paint it with a variety of paints before you apply it to any trees. Best of Luck
