Step 1

Mix Fevicryl Mouldit resin base and hardener thoroughly to create an even dough.
Use a plastic water bottle as the base to sculpt the tree in a vase shape.
Roll clay into thick coils and wrap them around the bottle's neck to form the tree's trunk. Secure the ends with Fevicryl Fabric Glue.
Build the tree bark around the bottle by layering clay coils.

Step 2

Roll clay into coils and shape them into round forms.
Attach the round coils onto the tree bark using Fevicryl Fabric Glue.
Use clay carving tools to create texture on the bark by pinching the coils at equal distances.
Roll clay into a slab, cut a broad strip, and attach it to the bottom of the tree vase using Fevicryl Fabric Glue. Let it dry.
Mark and cut a circle from the slab to create the base for the tree vase.

Step 3

Use clay carving tools to sculpt a bird from clay.
Attach the bird to the top of the tree vase with Fevicryl Fabric Glue. Let it dry.
Create texture on the bark with clay carving tools.
