I have no idea what species this tree is exactly but i'm gonna get funky with it

3 dollar bonsai for the win. I have no tools so i'm gonna repurpose these nail scissors. I will NOT buy real tools because i need to eat. Gonna call upon the spirit of my grandma to guide me here

Have your way with the tree….and have fun.
Kitchen or sewing scissors might work better. The nail scissors might separate at the hinge point then be worthless for the tree and your nails.

Sounds like fun. Don’t blame you about the tools, those things are way to high!!

Hopefully Grandma sends you a message that dog toenail clippers are good for pruning branches on that size tree

How cool, show us a pic when you're done trimming it.

A regular wire cutter works ok too
Good luck
