Do anyone know how to go about making an area rug out of Dollar Tree rugs?
If your weather permits tropicals, this would make an excellent platform to attach several staghorn ferns as well as various air plants.
put a face on it, dress it up to look like a person, it almost does. add accessories like pocket book , tennis racket or whatever your nitch it.
or make it look like a gardener holding a plant as suggested earlier
Why not make a fairy garden??? The tree would be a great hotel!!! I can see fairy and small coons hanging out on the limb too LOL! Then surround the totem with a small garden.
turn it into an elf house or gnome house. put a roof on top with scrap wood or metal, add a faux door,windows. can also put some hanging basket hooks off the sides and hand some baskets or bird feeder. add some fun colors, just have some fun, can change it up for different seasons too.
utilize each of the notches into a facial attribute to make several faces of animals or people with different expressions let the wood guide you.
I think you should hang pots with hanging flowers on the stumpy part of the tree where the limbs used to be. A bird house in the middle and the part that is sticking out you can put a terra cotta pot base for a bird feeder. I would make the pots from the big litre pop bottles. You cut the bottom and fill it with soil and plant flowers in them. Then you get some very heavy cord of some sort, attach it to the bottle bottoms on the sides and hang them. I had a picture for you, but I can't seem to attach it.
Yes, make it a farmer with potted plants , hanging plants an old garden tool added here and there. Make it a fun feature...please submit picture with finished project, I'd love to see it !!
How about a bottle tree. Look on line. But mix it up a bit by using vases instead of just bottles. Or make the face or faces on it and use bottles for hair. Seal the tops of the bottles to discourage insects.
We had a dying maple, started cutting it down and decided to stop at this point and hang old birdhouses on it. Quite a conversation piece.
Find a wood carver to carve I to a distinctive art piece.
that was carver, not carve I...
I would paint it to look like a boot for the foot is there and then stack the bottom with dirt and plant some sedum or ground flower on the stacked dirt to hold it.
I was going to say the same thing that,Annette Sausser said ( fairy Garden) but I can also see a bunch of bird houses or Humming Bird feeders
grow a beautiful creeper that provides a long period of flower up it and then let it cascade back down like a fountain. Perhaps once established you can intertwine some solar fairy lights.
Hang some solar string lights on it!
We bought a house that had a cut tree, that they stripped the bark off then wrapped chicken wire around all of it, and grew Clematis up it. It was gorgeous! You could put a mirrored gazing ball on top, just to give a little more ompf! The branch at the bottom you could even up the end and attach a bird feeder or bird bath, maybe hang a wind chime from it.
I also have a15 ft. Tall ash that needs a carver to make it a totem pole. I have had no luck finding anyone to do it. Any thoughts?
Awwww that's a shame about the picture but again another great idea. I've just bought a couple of new bird boxes and a load of really good bird seeds nuts etc so I could easily do that one. Thankyou so much.x
Thankyou everyone over the pond. Brilliant ideas. Love them all. Definately will be using most of them. Love from a mad about gardener in England. X
LOVE the Bird House neighborhood idea! I tend to prefer things that have a purpose and not make it fussy. A large group of bird houses would take away the barren look of the tree. Working in a few hanging plants would be a definite plus!
Just now found your post and the wheels are turning. I had to Google, "how to decorate a tall tree stump," and found many ideas. You gotta start somewhere
make it into a big beautiful watering can with lights coming out of the top mimicking water being poured out
