A useful technique is to wire two branches with the same wire, where possible; this avoids both loose ends of wire that must be attached and the inevitable crossed wires.

Cut off the right length of wire to wrap around both the branches.

Start by wrapping the centre point of the wire around the trunk and proceed to the first branch. Wire from the trunk end of the branch to the very tip before starting to wire the other branch. The wire should be wrapped around the branches at an angle of 45 degrees.

If you intend to bend the branch downwards directly at the trunk, make sure the wire comes from below. If it is intended to bend the branch upwards, the wire should come from above. Fig. 2

Two branches original and repositioned

When you intend to bend a branch downwards directly at the trunk make sure the wire comes from below. The wire should come from above when bending a branch upwards.

Once you have wired all suitable pairs of branches, you can continue wiring the remaining branches using the single-wiring technique.
