Question

How can I create a low-cost tree for a school play?

Answer 1

If you want it to look somewhat real use chicken wire to form the trunk and branches. You will need wood to support the chicken wire. Cover it with paper-maiche and use caulk to help form the bark of the tree. Then just paint it to make it look realistic.

Answer 2

Use an extra kid.
