a couple of common questions answered: *Why did you say "tinfoil" while you were building?* I said tinfoil out of habit but at *54* seconds in I give the supplies list and say, "you need aluminum foil". The supplies list, the description box, and my blog, all call for aluminum foil. I did say tin in this video while building,, oops, it was a mistake. Yes, you are right, it's called aluminum foil. I have done my best to break the habit tho and I’ve managed to keep the word tinfoil out of my videos since. 😅 *How much foil did I use?* I didn't measure but definitely less than 40 feet. I actually want to say about 20 - 30 but it's safer to guess beyond that. How much you use will depend on the size of tree you make. I used the cheapest foil I could find, you do not need heavy duty foil. *Can I paint the inside chamber where the light goes?* Absolutely! I did paint one of mine black in case I didn't use tissue paper. It worked out fabulous. *Can I add more branches?* You can add on and take away anything you want to. This is a project you can do just about anything with. Have fun!
@Where The Gnomes Live - Many people use the term tin foil when they are actually talking about aluminum foil; seems like everyone knows what they are referring to. Also, it's a lot quicker to say. ;-)
yes! Thank you.. there are some people who are focusing on the word, it's a distraction for them. I never even gave it a thought before this video. I walk into any store and ask where they keep their tin foil and without a blink of an eye I'm directed right to the aluminum foil. It's been referred to as tin foil all my life. I'll try very hard to remember to always call it aluminum in future videos.. I can't make it a promise though, I get all carried away grabbing that tin foil! lol
This woman is one of the best craft teachers I've found on youtube. She not only explains clearly what she's doing and what materials she's using, but she also gives you different options on other materials and methods that will either work the same, or give you different effects depending on what you want. Fantastic stuff!
She is! She described the shading and drybrushing and highlighting just perfect. For some reason it’s a hard concept for the not so crafty people. This was also the first you tube vid that I didn’t want to constantly fastforward.
Well, thanks a lot. Now I have to quit my job so I can addictively binge on ALL of your videos and then do all 183,736 projects that popped into my poor brain ASAP!!! Liked, subscribed, and shared! 💖
Never thought, tin foil, paper towels and masking take could become something so FANTASTICAL!!! But here you are KILLING IT!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
For heavens sake! Who was cranky enuf to ask about tin foil? It’s foil people! What you use each day in the kitchen! Thanks so much for showing me this so cute easy craft project! Inexpensive also. Yay!
What a great tutorial! Not only does it cater to people with a similar skill level but this illustrates how ANYONE can make this spooky tree and it will still turn out looking awesome, and with very inexpensive materials. Love the look of the finished craft and inspired to make one. I've been a paper mache-er for over 16 years and love the texture you got from the paper towel. Really well done! Subscribed!
Sharon, you are a treasure! I have used a couple of your crochet patterns in the past, and now I am working on my second spooky tree. I am in awe of your creativity and your kindness in sharing your processes with us! Many thanks.
What a great little project! I, also, appreciate the way you give directions. You speed up when appropriate and explain when needed. I don't always find posts where I can follow to a Tee what they are doing, but I find your directions easy to follow, especially when you explained about the arms drying with the glue and then becoming soggy agsin after painting. If I didn't know I might panic. Thanks for your inspiration!
Oh my god! U are an answered prayer! My son will marry next sept . Long story short. 10 tables, 10 different themes, I need to make a whomping willow! U saved my creative reputation! Thank you Thankyou!!
I wanted make this fantastic tree but on a bigger scale, i used 2 cardboard barrells and used these ideas... it turned out fantacally and so happy to have watched the video... so thank you so very much..xx💀☠👻.
This absolutely the best taught tutorial I have ever seen. If you're not a professional, you should be. Thx for an explicit, detailed, easy to learn new skill. 💞♥️
I know this was a long time ago...but I'm just watching this now. Here in CT, USA, I say tin foil as well. 🤷🏻♀️ I didn't know that was a problem lmao 🤦🏻♀️
you have to wonder at the seriousness of some but maybe it's just that tone is hard to convey via a comment. Future generations will be more prone to call it by its proper name, I'm sure, but I can't say "aluminum" properly half the time so foil it is, I just have to remember to drop the tin, lol
Just finished my scary tree took the entire weekend but worth it. Came out cute. I wanted to share a picture but can’t seem to find how I do it from UA-cam. Thanks renee
He’s fabulous. Would love to see the forest you’re working on too. Thanks for sharing a very nice video to watch and listen to, even with the TIN foil noise🤣 I may attempt this guy...and I don’t even have to go out and buy any supplies for a change!
Thanks to this video I was able to make a tree very similar to yours, but it’s about 5’6” tall! It really turned out so cool! My tree trunk base is plastic coffee containers, and then I filled in areas, sculpted, and paper machete over it. Branches are made like yours. I found the whole process to be very relaxing!
ohhh that is so awesome! I like how you used other materials to fill in, that's great. 5'6!!! That's taller than I am, lol and that beats my tallest tree too. My tree that I built into a corner of my craft room is almost 5ft, (If I'm remembering correctly), my cats love love love it but the Gnomes don't like cats hahaha And yes, I find building to be relaxing and therapeutic for me. I believe that's why I build things so large, I don't wanna stop!
@@WhereTheGnomesLive Thanks for your replies! I did leave one kind of funny part out. I wanted the tree to be done for Halloween that year, but I had to have surgery right in the middle of building it. The day after I got home I was back to work on the tree , despite doctors orders of no bending. Lol
Thank you for another great video. You are among the best crafty video makers on UA-cam, no idle chatter about nothing or wasting time explaining things like we are totally stupid. Well done, love the tree gonna give it a go.
WOW! thanks you for sharing your work on this tree... I cannot believe that 163 people did a thumbs down, but don't let it discourage you, there are folks who just have to let their negativity out...
At first glance, this looks like it would be difficult but the more I watched, the more I saw how easy it actually is - and how awesome it looks at that! What a great tutorial! I'm glad UA-cam suggested this to me today. :)
I had no intention of watching this entire video, although as you were explaining how to build the tree and how amazing it looks I was intrigued. You sucked me in to watching a video I normally wouldn’t watch due to the length but YOU captured my attention and I am glad that I watched it to its end. Thank you for such a great instructional video I am going to try and find some time to actually make one of these trees!
I love this one using simple household items that are easy for everyone to use and work with. I've subscribed to your channel and can't wait to check out more of your wonderful videos. You are so creative and intuitive. Thank you for sharing with us!
Amazing ! I was absolutely, “mesmerized” by your talent ! Oh Yeah, for fun I want to make, “Spooky Trees” with my teenage grandchildren. You have inspired me, to be more crafty, for all the holidays.
Your technique is perfect for the Banyan Tree that I'm needing to make for my stop-motion animated film. Your method allows for some movement of the fingers and hands (the way I"m leaving the fingers not so glued and a bit more flexible). The Banyan has those creepy air roots dripping down from the top and your idea works well with that, Plus, I'm adding in some rope tendrils too. Thank you for your excellent instructions and directions.
I love this idea. I don't do Halloween but I'm excited to do all kinds of home decorating ideas with the basics. As for tin foil/ aluminum foil im 62 and have swapped them out all my life so most do know what your talking about.
Made this a couple years ago for my daughter as a Halloween decoration, it is her favorite holiday. She leaves “him” out all year. Named him Harvey, wears a Christmas hat and a heart necklace for Valentine’s Day. Was pretty easy following your video. Thanks for all your work. Stay safe
I just love this tree and your channel! My granddaughter made one with me. You make it look so easy, lol. Your instructions are so easy to follow and tomorrow we’ll start painting them. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with all of us! 💕
Absolutely loved this tree. I've been binge watching your channel since I just tripped on a vid yesterday... Love what you do and your voice is very easy to listen to. FYI I'm mid 60s and call it tin foil, foil, or the whole aluminum foil, depends on my mood or whatever comes out. Don't sweat it, it's not like you used a Company Brand name, even then, who cares? Since this Vid is almost 3 years old, I've lots more to watch! Thanks so much!
I’m from England and I love that Americans go all out for the different holidays lol. People only decorate their houses for Halloween if they’re having a party around my area. We tend to do a pumpkin, that’s it lol.
yes! Some do, I'm actually in Canada but there's many Canadians too that put in a huge effort for Halloween. With graveyards and haunted houses in their front lawns, lol it's really fun to see. Great fun for the kids!
HI THERE! I really want to thank you for showing everyone how to make this awesome tree! Last year I made my own version for Halloween, and it was over five feet talll! It was a huge success at my daughter’s house because we placed him right near the door. The only problem was where to store him afterwards. My husband made a shelf on the wall in our living room , and it stays there year round!💕
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial!!!! I finally finished my 1st tree I'm so pleased with him and it's all thanks to your great instructions I am rarely on Facebook like once a year. But I have posted pictures of him on my Instagram and gave you a shout out for it! Again thank you so much, Your awesome!
Wonderful tutorial! Awesome and very inspiring job!!! Additional huge THANKS for clear language. English is my third language and I did not have any difficulties to understand you.
He turned out great. Brought back memories of The Wizard of Oz and the haunted forest and those mean apple trees. Lolol Thanks for the well done tutorial. Really great job.👍🏼
you have no idea how genuinely happy this video made. i cant explain it but its given me the motivation to create one of these cute little trees and do something. your channel is amazing and your so good at explaining things carefully and slowly. i truly appreciate you and your art. thank you
aww!! Thank you so very much, that truly means a lot to hear that. It's always my hope to inspire or motivate someone else so to hear that made me really happy :)
Hello Miss Sharon, I just came across your wonderful tutorial. I work with , " special needs " children here in Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦 and this will be a great project for them at Halloween. Thank you for sharing your talent !
Great tutorial, very inspiring to create things with whatever you have at home. Thank you for making it! And thank you for not adding any annoying music, made it easy to focus on what you were saying.
HOLY COW!!!! THAT IS SO AMAZING. Who knew you could manipulate foil, masking tape and paper towels to make an amazing project? Oh wait...you did! That is totally amazing. I may try this, but I know it will not look anything like yours. How long, from start to finish did this take you to make? You are truly an amazingly, talented artist.
Wow! This is fantastic! I love it and am going to make one with tin foil!! I remember when I was in elementary school in the late 40's & early 50's I was so envious of the kids who had sandwiches wrapped in tin foil. I asked my Mom to wrap mine in tin foil & she said it was too expensive! Anyway it will always be tin foil to me. You are so talented & clever! Thank you for sharing this!
A haunted little tree! Perfect! I will certainly keep this project on my list of things to try. I'm also very interested in this wicked look you've pulled off. I'm seriously tempted to make it on a large scale as a prop for my Halloween yard display. Other tree videos just don't capture the same spookiness that this one does. Great inspiration! Thanks!
I want to thank you for your tips to make this such a fun project! Your tree is fabulous! It’s cool to see how they slowly develop their personality as you make them! To save a little on using too much foil, I recycled the paper towel empty roll and a couple of lids from our take out Mexican bowls. The lids were sturdy for the base and arms. Happy Halloween!
🙏🏼Omg Thanks god i found you girl, You are super talented and I love all your work thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creations🥰 God bless you sweetheart 🥰💖🙏🏼👼🏻✨😆
I have been saving all the brown packing paper from Amazon, I have a feeling it will be thin enough to be a good bark like texture and color! I just love your tree!
This is my husbands site. I am Ava. I made your tree for halloweend! My husband and son say it's the best project I have ever done! Thank you for this video. I am going to make a spooky tree family.
Almost have my first one done. This was so easy. I'm really enjoying this and bringing my trees to life. Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to try some of your other ideas. I will share my tree on your facebook when it's done. ~Mandy
I am about 12 minutes into the video paused it and went to look if I have the supplies to make this because this is just way to cool and YES I have all the supplies and super stoked and ready to make him...Thank You for sharing this idea, and excellent tutorial
ohhh I'm so happy to read your comment! This is the kind of thing I was hoping would happen, you go check and yup, you got it all! lol I remember years ago wanting to craft, usually it would hit me around midnight when stores were closed, and I had to use things I had on hand. That's what I want to share with others, the ability to be creative with basic supplies or with supplies you can buy just about anywhere. Thanks for taking the time to comment, you made me smile :)
I realize it's been 3 yrs since you made this fantastic tree, but it's the first time I've viewed the video. Amazing job!!!! New subbie, looking forward to viewing & using your technique.😵
You did a great job on this. I love doing crafts. This even looked fun to make. Can a nice pumpkin be done with aluminum foil and made into like a candy dish?

thank you very much!
I want to thank you for your tips to make this such a fun project! Your tree is fabulous! It’s cool to see how they slowly develop their personality as you make them! To save a little on using too much foil, I recycled the paper towel empty roll and a couple of lids from our take out Mexican bowls. The lids were sturdy for the base and arms. Happy Halloween!
Outstanding. Clear concise instructions, and you demonstrate everything very well.
Thank you very much!
I absolutely love this. I’m going to make some for my mantle and for my daughter-in-law. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely LOVE these trees and stumps! A great project for me to do while stuck in bed! Thank you 🌻🤗🌿
This is wonderful! I think I'm going to use this same method to make creepy tree candles too. Thanks for taking the time to post!
I'm watching this 4 years later and definitely it's on my to do list we call it tin foil in Ireland.

I have been saving all the brown packing paper from Amazon, I have a feeling it will be thin enough to be a good bark like texture and color! I just love your tree!

XTL Lancelot hello tu vas essayer?
This was very very cool! Kinda reminds me of the apple trees in the original wizard of oz!
Where the gnomes live, you are absolutely amazing!! Thank you soooooo much beautiful soul.
thank you so much, that really means a lot!
You did a great job on this. I love doing crafts. This even looked fun to make. Can a nice pumpkin be done with aluminum foil and made into like a candy dish?
