Cut stripped wire in half and then cut in half again so you have 4 wires of the same length.

Twist two wires together leaving some of the wire untwisted at the top and bottom. 
Twist 2 at a time then once all wires are paired up do it again with another one until you don't have any more loose wire left. 

Add the V

Remember trees aren't perfect and usually have v's or something. 

Redo step 2 except not as long and as much twist them as usual and then twist around tree and have it stick outwards. 

Do that again but wrap around v spot so it looks more realistic (look at pictures)

Your Done
