This time i tried to make tree log with PVC pipe & plastic pot. Cut the pipe with sharp knife .I used plaster of paris & soft cotton cloth ,cover the pipe with cloth of plaster of paris .Cover the whole pipe with thick plaster of paris. After drying the plaster i used hobby knife to shape the tree log Now attached the extra tree branch with the screw .

I used raw sienna & raw umber for coloring the log . I applied many stocks of color .After drying the color spray mixture of PVA glue & water.It gave the finish look . On base i used moss mat . For the leaves used artificial hedge panel .
