For the other tree use six layers of fringe which you have cut like [Fig. 386], and afterward crimped with a blade of the scissors. This time begin at the top of the stick instead of the bottom and with the narrow top of the fringe roll the paper down to the pointed end of the stick. This gives the tree a bushy foliage ([Fig. 385]).

Cut circles of dark olive-green paper to

like [Fig. 388]. Fold the circle evenly four times and cut like [Fig. 389], stopping at dotted line before reaching the centre. Unfold and the papers will resemble [Fig. 390]. Hold each of these at the centre, and twist a few times to make the stems ([Fig. 391]). Plant the shrubs between the trees on top of the second platform. Cut a number of light sage-green tissue paper shapes like [Fig. 392] for plants. Holding each of the plants at the centre, crease by drawing it lightly through the fingers of the other hand, twist the stems ([Fig. 393]) and plant between trees.

Arrange Your Plants
in precise formal rows, a tree then a plant, next a tree and so on allowing a tree in a higher platform to come between two plants in the platform beneath as in [Fig. 394].
