How do you make a crystal tree?

if you google crystal tree you will find a bunch of really beautiful and VERY expensive trees with crystal beads and ornaments on it. Do any of you know how to make one cheaper? any ideas of how to make the base?
If you could find a directional step by step of how to make the tree itself, not just how to decorate it than that will answer my question. Thanks!
here are some examples:

There is a whole e-book called “secrets of how to make a crystal tree” at Ethereal Decor. The website to go to is www.etherealdecor.com Great crystals there and metal trees if you don’t feel like making one. In the ebook though, it is very detailed with about 6 or 7 ways to make them. My favorite is the container method which takes 5 minutes and I also like the vase method (there’s a quick video on there showing you how to do it too). There is another way to mount to a piece of square wood also that is pretty cool. There is a link to the ebook in the top navigation bar. Check it out. The actual link to the specific page that has the e-book about it is this http://www.etherealdecor.com/how-to-make-crystal-wedding-tree-centerpiece-trees.html
