Look Into The Tree And Select The Suitable Branches
After managing the materials, bring the tree out to a spacious place so that you can work with it easily.

Don’t use anything else other than the iron cutter! Otherwise, it might hurt you and you would fail to cut the iron structure.
Process The Branches Properly
If you find any tangled leaves, straighten them gently. Now, take the tape to tie the branches to each other. You are doing this so that they can stand strongly facing the wind. So, don’t cover the entire structure with tape to spoil the beauty.
If the branches were of real trees, you would need to use a stick to tie them. But as you are dealing with an artificial tree, the branches are strong enough themselves. So, they require no sticks.
Prepare The Pot And Place The Branches
Now make the pot ready. If the foam doesn’t sit properly inside the pot, cut its edges little by little. Never cut much of it at a time so that it becomes short.
At this point, push the branches through the foam. Enter the bottom until you find it safe and stable. Your topiary is ready to add beauty to wherever you place it. Then spread some peat moss to make it look natural and fuller.
