I've been collecting driftwood during the year from my walks on Filey beach, in the hopes I could make a unique tree to decorate for Christmas. It was a learning curve!
Peter drilled the middle of each branch, which was OK for all but the thinner ones. Some snapped, some he had to do with quite a small hole. I bought a metal net curtain rod, to thread the larger branches, used stiff wire for the thinner ones, AND loads of hot glue! The whole structure was then glued into a log saved from tree pruning in our garden this summer.
I AM really pleased with the end result, but if I make another, I would experiment with "threading" more thinner twigs, so you end up with a much taller tree, suitable for a fairy on the top!
