In order to make a tree branch with cones, you will need a good wire. Each bump must be wrapped around it, passing the long end into a loop.

If you took a too soft wire, and it bends under the weight of natural material, then place a toothpick under the insulating tape.

Then you need to thicken the trunk from the bottom. To do this, safely take the plastic bag and twist tight. The resulting tourniquet is tied with an insulating tape to the bottom of the tree trunk.
