Before you get started, make sure that you have all the parts. They are grouped in plastic bags to make it easy to find the parts you need for each step. In addition, you will need a soldering iron, solder, screw driver, and a nice wire clippers. It isn't necessary, but a good wire forming tool makes it much easier to get a great looking tree.
