What is the desired outcome? Do you want to create a decorative item that has no other purpose than being looked at? Or do you want to use it for other purposes like stamping or stenceling as well?

On a larger scale, you could assemble a similar tree from empty aluminum cans or water bottles. In both of those cases, you would want to align the containers upside down relative to the front of the artwork so that decorations can be added to their comparatively featureless bottom sides.
