How to Make Wire Haunted House Trees

Learn how to make spooky armature wire trees for Halloween haunted house villages.

Cut 6 pieces of wire approximately 4 inches long.
Even out the wires and clamp them together with a pair of pliers.
Using the free pair of pliers, twist the wire together. You will want to get about 1 inches twisted together.
Bend the wires that are at the bottom of the tree up towards the trunk and twist them around the trunk to further secure the wires and to get rid of the pointy ends.
Trim the width of the crepe paper pieces to the length of the branches.
Separate the branches. Add glue to one branch at a time and begin wrapping crepe paper around branch.
Add glue to length of crepe paper so that it stays in place as you wrap.
Add a dap of glue to crepe paper edge and the tip of the branch.
To give it a more spooky look, hold inner end of the branch and twist crepe paper in the direction that you wrapped it around the wire.
Repeat on all branches.
Allow to dry.
Once dry, trim wires to the size that you need and any ends of wire that didn't get covered in crepe paper.
Twist and bend the branches to give it more of a creepy tree look.

If some of the glue dries white, just touch it up with black craft paint.
