How do I mark and drill the branch holes on the wooden pole?
Space the branches evenly around the pole, starting from 6 inches from the bottom and ending 6 inches from the top. Use a spade bit that is the same diameter as the dowel to drill the holes at a 45-degree angle.

Cut the dowels into the desired lengths according to the branch positions. Insert the dowels into the branch holes at a 45-degree angle, ensuring a secure fit. Repeat this process for all the branch holes.

Hang ornaments of your choice on the dowel branches. You can get creative with your ornament selection and arrangement to personalize your tree.
