Screw holes around each side of the tree intermittently. Use a drill at a downward angle, ensuring you extend each hole at least three inches (7. 5cm) inward. Insert metal rods of six inches to one and a half feet (0. 2 to 0. 5m). You can purchase metal reinforcing rods at a home or hardware store. Make sure each of these rods is secure before continuing to the next one.

Purchase a metal collar in which you can encircle your rebar branches or plan to weld the rebar together. Rent a conduit bender if you want to bend the rebar dramatically. Drive stakes into the holes where the rebar will go. Then, drive the rebar into the ground with a stake hammer. Weld your rebar together if you want to. Check that it is sturdy before decorating it.

If you want to create a cobalt blue bottle tree, but you don’t have enough blue bottles, start with easier to find green or brown bottles. Then, collect and replace them throughout the years.
