I just use wire snips and needle nose pliers to make these. The cost varies. The plain wire is not very expensive. Total cost on a potted tree is generally under $30 for the plain ones. The wrapped trees are a little bit more, but none of them cost of $60 in materials.
I agree with you about the plain trees, but they are too fast and my wife gets tired of them all. My house fills up faster than I can get rid of them. My favorite is the rose tree and another one which is not pictured here. I do not have these in a gallery, but it is something I have been giving consideration. The majority of these are in my home. My family has a lot. Almost all of my friends have at least one.
I just finished another one tonight. I'll probably post a picture tomorrow.
