The basic items you will need is a small tree or shrub, a pair of scissors, fork, some dirt, a bonsai pot and pot screening. The tree or shrub can be a one gallon type shrub from a Home Depot/Lowes or other store garden center. You need to pick out something that is outdoors and looks like it will adapt to being a bonsai. Something like a Japanese Boxwood. You already have the scissors and the fork and the dirt will come from the one gallon growing container the tree came in. You can sometimes find a pot from a thrift store or a bonsai supply place on line. You will want a 6 or 8 inch long pot. Get one that is reasonably deep to start. Color and shape is not of any consequence for now. You can get some duscarded screen door screen/window screen (free from a window rescreen company) or get some bonsai pot screen from the same mailorder source you got the pot from. Now lets get started. You can start by cutting up some screen with your scissors to fit the pot bottom. Set aside for now. Take the shrub from the one gallon bucket onto a work area surface covered in old newspapers. Using the fork, carefully remove the dirt up to the bottom of the tree about equal to the depth of the pot. Not all the dirt! Cut off all the extra roots that would get in the way. Clean the dirt you removed from the tree of any roots and large detritus. Now place just a little dirt or bonsai soil into the bottom of the pot. Now scissors trim the root ball of the tree into a shape that is about the size and shape of the pot. Firmly place the tree into the pot. If it does not fit correctly, then trim some more, just a little at a time. Once it fits, pack more dirt around the sides of the pot, keeping the dirt level with the top edge of the tree. Important! Sometimes you may have had to remove some dirt from the base of the tree to expose more trunk and some of the bigger roots at the base of the tree. This is called nebari. Now that you have the tree packed into the pot, you need to soak it with water. You can do this by holding into a bucket of water up to the top of the pot until all is very wet. Now you can add more soil if necessary. Once this is done, you can now trim the tree to shape. Sometimes many people will have trimmed the tree to shape before cutting the root ball down. I wanted to keep this simple for you the first time. Bonsai is always approached with common sense.

The final pictures show a stone and a mudman fisherman that you can add to the top of the bonsai. You can buy a bonsai like this.
