Bonsai-fy Crassula ovata?

I was sent two Crassula ovata variegata from East Austin Succulents, and one of them is a little branched out so I was wondering if I could bonsai it and how exactly to do it. It's in a 2.5 inch pot! Also, sorry not sorry about the baby budgie pic lol

My mom has a super big jade plant (someone threw it out and she saved it) and it looks like the previous owner tried to form it into the shape of a tree and it looks really good, so it's probably quite possible. (sadly don't have any photos of it)

@GaryPoopins They're twins, which makes them rare, too! They've decided to embrace it and they could not be any cuter :) they're both girls!
