All the tree designs have step-by-step instructions, including colorful pictures, to help in the design process. As a bonus, checklists and design/note pages have been included to keep track of your designs. A Gallery has also been included which shows additional trees that can be made using the instructions included in the book.
Gem Trees, Beaded Trees, and Wire Tree Sculptures is Dana's second book. The first book Gem Tree Sculptures, published in 2009 is a beginner book, with a few different tree designs, and is still available.
