DIY – Make Your Own Tree House Plant
5 Materials
Here’s how I made my own house plant using things I found around my house.
To make my plant leaves, I painted about 10 sheets of green construction paper a natural green color on one side and a darker green on the other side. I then sprayed the sheets with a clear coating to give them a little shine. Next I cuts strips into the sheets similar to a grass skirt with points at the end of each strips.
To make my plant base. I found long similar sticks from outside. I used a planter I already had and hot glued floral foam to the bottom. Then I pushed the sticks into the foam and stuffed newsprint around the sticks to keep them in place. To finish I topped the planter with Spanish moss.
I used a hot glue gun to glue the leave sheets to the top of each stick. Starting from the top, I spiraled downward as I glued each turn. Then I made sure each end had a sharp point by trimming them with scissor so that the plant looked natural.
Now I have what looks like a $100 plant at no cost!
