this is the natural Tiffany fir from tree time this tree is designed to have a loose edge and to keep that appearance as you look into the tree for a very natural look to achieve this appearance we start shaping each branch from the inside of the tree beginning with the twigs closest to the trunk of the tree pull the twigs closest to the trunk straight up handling each one to ensure that it is aligned where you want it as you work forward each twig should align somewhat differently around the clock as though they are each the hands on a clock as you look down the branch but each pointing to a different time around the dial in this design these branches are designed to fill the space as you look back into the tree but are not so full that they completely bury the interior of the tree this gives the Tiffany a much more natural appearance you'll notice that there are also sub branches near the outer end of some of the main branches we refer to these as wings pull each wing open to fill the space between the main branches then shape each twig on the main branch and on each wing opening them to fill the outer edge of the tree as we started shaping at the trunk the twigs were shaped to point straight up into the sides but as we move forward along each branch we tilt to each new twig a bit more forward so that those which are out at the edge of the tree take on a natural angle that you would find in nature
