Trust me, this is one DIY you will want to learn how to do! A faux tree can cost hundreds of dollars AND a really good one can cost EVEN MORE!
Today, I'm sharing how I DIY'd this faux tree... and all for under $50! Our tree was around 12 feet tall, so it could definitely be scaled down if you're looking for something a bit smaller.
The fun thing about making your own faux tree is the possibilities are literally endless. I went with an artificial Ficus tree look, but an olive may have been a close second!
A FEW TIPS:
-The better quality your leaves, the more realistic your tree will look
- Turning and twisting each faux stem slightly will give a very natural look to your stems
-Rub your leaves with a tiny bit of olive oil if you want them to shine a bit (I didn't try this, but have seen it!)
-End as many branches/tips with a leaf/stem as you can (the ficus have those droopy leaves, perfect for a ficus!)
-Trim off any twigs/stems not utilized in the end. Careful, Don't take TOO much off!

That took a lot of work and patience! This is the first time I’ve seen anyone do this! The work was well worth it! Looks so real!
Yes... a ton of patience!! Well worth it in the end, though!
I love this. I opted for a branch Xmas tree this year(kept seeing huge branch when dog walking). White lights & minimal ornaments & it was stunning. We’ve decided to keep it up all year because it was so beautiful. Makes living room sooo inviting. Now, I just need to remember this is a cobweb haven & to clean every month! Thx!
I am so grateful for demo. You are the first one I found d who created a fake tree improvement video. Thanks again. Your true looks great with out over doing or painting it.
This is me, i love dried branches, twig projects. The real has so much character and life...great job
Thank you! 😉
This is GENIUS!!!! Definitely going to try this!!! I'm in love!
Thank you Meris! Do it!! Come back and let me know how it goes! 💕
Thank you Valerie, i can't tell you how many live plants i've lost in my lounge due to lack of light, this is a perfect idea, i'm retired so have plenty of time to do this, big thumbs up to you. Trev, Manchester, UK
Hi Trev! Yes, totally do it and let me know how it goes! 💕
I have no words for how much I love this, thank you!!! I can't wait to try this and make my own, I'm so inspired!
Athena... you're too sweet. Thank you for the kind words. It makes me happy to hear that I've been able to inspire you! Get out there and make it... and come back to let me know how it went! 💕
This is incredibly beautiful! I absolutely love this and you did a fantastic job! Super inspiring and I'm excited to make my own!
Your kindness is so much appreciated! Thank you for watching! 💕
Beautiful! I actually had a very similar idea about 3 years ago. I still have my branches attached in the kitchen but I never managed to find anything suitable enough (few faux options in Sweden to be honest and most are expensive), so I just have my tree. But i really wanna do something with it eventually, maybe even with diamonds hanging on it. Thank you for this amazing tutorial, sparked some thoughts!
Wow - your tree came out beautiful! I'm always so impressed that you do DIYs that are classy rather than kitschy! Thank you.
I appreciate that Anne! I love a classy look too! 😉
I've never heard of that saying before Kitchsy...
Completely blown away with the results- thank you for sharing your process and crediting your inspiration! I have a great vessel, which I will use for a smaller scaled tree 😍
Hi Cam! If you've already got the vessel in mind, then you're set and ready to knock out this DIY! Thanks so much for the sweet words and let me know how it goes! 💕
Oh my!, it looks fantastic!!! It looks just as good if not better than ones you buy!! Stunning. Thank you for sharing your how to!
❤️💜💚
Hi Paige! I agree, I have a few faux trees that I've bought which are super expensive, and honestly, they don't look as good as they should for the price!! This DIY is a perfect solution to that! 💕
I loved how you did the tree. Thank you for sharing.
I have been going to do this exact thing for the longest time but with little “shelves” hidden in the leaves for my cats. I had thought of using your second method but had not even thought your first method would be possible. Thank you so much for posting. It looks amazing - better than any I have seen for sale xxx
Aw, thanks Carolyn! By making them you can focus so much more on attention to detail. It really does make the ones you pay a ton of money for in the stores not even comparable!
This was amazing and this way you can get the leaves to lay real looking👍🏻👍🏻. Thanks for the idea. Love it.
Thanks Annette! I enjoyed researching the tree I was making, you learn something new everyday! 😉
Thanks so much for your video😊Bravo 👏🏻 on the tree. It looks amazing! I have been wanting to do this Exact project for a couple years. Was discouraged by my husband who just told me to buy one. 😮I’ve never found one that met my needs or style. I have how ever never stopped mentioning that I thought I could do better. Well I’m definitely going to do it this weekend 🎉
Thanks for the encouragement I needed. 🫶🏻 Have a Blessed week 🥳
Yes! It's complete and looks awesome ♥️
Thanks love! 😘
This tree is just the BEST! Thank you for showing us how to make it!!!!!
Thanks Sandie!! Have a great week! 💕
Wow!! This was amazing and simple and affordable too!! I was agonizing over spending $200+ over a realistic faux tree and this was right up my alley! Thank you so much for sharing. I totally just subscribed💜
Thanks for watching Erica! I do the same thing all of the time! Those faux trees can get pricey!! I don't know if I will ever buy another faux tree again! 😄
Gorgeous! You did a great job explaining the process. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Robin! I appreciate that so much! 😉Hope you have a great weekend!
I absolutely love your tree!! It is so large and full......but just full enough!!! I never realized these trees you buy look fake as they are too full. Simply stunning!! Great job Valerie, so amazing!!❤️
Thanks Bonnie! This was one of my favorite DIY's! I don't know if I'll ever pay buy a faux tree again! 😄
What a wonderful tutorial. It looks so real! Amazing.
Thanks so much 😊
I love, love, love this tree! Outstanding!
It turned out so great! Very happy with it! ☺️

Thanks Anna! You're too sweet. I hope you have amazing week! 💕
You did a spectacular job!!! I'm SO jealous and wish I had your tree!!! I've been wanting to fill a corner and can't find what I'm looking for. Until I saw your tree. Sigh. Hope I find the big branch to start the project, I'll keep my eyes peeled! Thanks SO much, you've really inspired me!!!!
It looks sooo good… great job ♥️
I did this several years ago using very realistic looking cherry blossoms.
Everyone who sees it raves about it. One of my favorite things for Spring.
Your tree is gorgeous.
That sounds beautiful! 😍 These are such a great way to get a great quality look for way less!!

I just had a flash back of the Griswald Christmas tree lol. You never disappoint ❣
LOL seriously!! That is the best movie! 😂 My families face when I brought that branch in said it all 😄
I have never ever seen anything like this in my life. This is outstanding! I can hardly wait for some of the snow to melt so I can get to my tree's. Oh, and I did subscribe.
Hi Victoria! Oh... snow can be a bummer! Especially when you want to knock out a DIY like this! As soon as enough of that snow melts and you can get some branches, I'd get on this ASAP! Come back and let me know how it goes! And thanks for your support by subscribing 💕

How awesome! I did something similar about 4 months ago for a homemade birthday shoot, but with flowers instead to look like a "blossoming" tree. Kept it because I can rent it out for parties or the like. 😊

Living in Santa Monica California it’s impossible to find a large branch. Unfortunately, but fortunately for me after the hurricane a few months ago, I finally got my dream branch from a fallen tree and I am currently making my dream tree. Thanks for the inspo.
SO gooooood! I'm ah-mazed!
Thank you!!😊
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing and the inspo!

Valerie that was amazing! Lots of work but amazing after I’ve seen you do this I know that we have probably branches that we could probably use to make a tree trunk, and the funny thing is about three weeks ago I had a fairly nice ficus faux tree And I said it out on the street for someone to pick it up LOL but I must say the leaves from Hobby lobby were beautiful if I choose to do this DIY I will certainly show you thank you again beautiful work be blessed
I hate when you donate something and then almost instantly you need or want it back! 😆😩 It always happens to me! But I have to agree, the hobby lobby stems are pretty good! 🙌🏻
you are SO creative. I love it!!
Hi Nancy! Thanks so much! :)
Wow! I love it 👍🏼
