Here are some great free tutorials on how to make a gem tree 

Wire Gemstone Bonsai Trees
I've always wanted a gemstone tree. I first saw one in a specialty store when I was a child. It was so beautiful, and looked so fragile, I was afraid to touch it. Yet, I did - gently, watching the way the little tree arms moved and the little leaves swayed. Here are my Wire Gemstone Bonsai Tree Directions
How to Make a Gem Tree
My husband and I teach and demonstrate gem tree design, so what would be more appropriate than a guide to make one. There are several types of gem trees and I prefer the kind where you don't glue the gems to the wire, but use gems or beads with holes and twist the wire with the beads in it to make the leaves and branches. The shapes are varied and is totally up to your imagination. This is a great hobby for children and those with limited resources.

    I love the idea of gem trees. I do bead work in my spare time and may make some gem trees someday. They would make a nice gift for friends and family.
    Thanks for making this lens, I really enjoyed learning about this. - Susie
