Cover your tree with glue using your sponge.
Once the glue dries, paint your trees a neutral background color. We don't want to take away from the jewelry.
Start pinning your pieces into the styrofoam. I will say that the closer you put them together, the less bead pinning you will have to do.

Be sure to secure each piece either with extra pins, or wire if need be.
When all your jewelry is secure, it's time to start beading. Be sure to place an e-bead, then a seed bead on the pin, and just pin as close to each other as possible. Sometimes you will need to stack more than one bead on your pin because your jewelry piece stands out.
You can use any bead you want, any colors even, but I would recommend keeping it the same across the board.
