    The process of the tree from having no leaves to a full tree gave me a total spring vibe! 🌱 Love how both of the projects turned out! 😍🌿

    I made a faux cherry blossom tree (pink is my fave color). It's gorgeous and I bring it out every Spring. Get lots of compliments - it's one of my favorite things.

      It's probably a lot of effort for little payoff but I was thinking of doing my home office (just the second bedroom in my apartment, lol) in a sakura theme. Making a tree for it sounds awesome! Though the only time anyone would see it would be on infrequent work meetings or something, lol. Well, guess I could just be happy seeing it.

      Yep another who loves the color pink and cherry blossoms, when I lived in Washington state that 10 day period of cherry blossom season was one of my favorites because I love taking pictures of them. I’m actually a floral photographer, mostly for my own pleasure and because I’ve loved flowers and plants my entire life, the thing I miss most about Washington, is the cherry blossom season. There are none of these here in Southern California, I love plumeria season they are a complete joy to photograph and translate to lovely paintings that I create with a special app.

    I purchased a ficus tree like this from world market and it’s pretty full. i was trying to figure out how to make it less full but I see how i can move the branches around and take off some of the leaves. Thank you Drew for always sharing your great ideas!! ❤️❤️ This video was pretty relaxing to watch.

    I do not look at the work of very many other creators, so I would never have seen this if you had not done it. I think it is wonderful for you to put your own spin on something that has been done before. It is no different than making a 'dupe'. Thank you.

    Drew-you can use yard rocks in the bottom of your bucket with spray foam insulation in a can on top of the rocks. The rocks won’t move around, and you can use the foam to stick other fake stuff in if you want. Cheaper and sturdy after it cures! Love your style!

    i find it so crazy that i have been out SHOPPING literally all day today looking for a faux tree, didnt find one, and now u posted this. Its for my chameleons so when the nice weather gets here i can put them in a tree by the window but NOBODY had a tree with any type of branch that would hold a chameleon. Now I got ideas that when spring comes I can just make my own. THANK YOU

    The smaller arrangement looks just like some of the ones I've seen in magazines! Also, now that your big tree is by the window, the brightness of the sunlight in some areas and the shadows in other areas does give it some of the depth you hoped to give it with spray paint, IMO. Great money saving ideas for great looking greenery.

    The tree looks so good, one of my favourite DIY ideas. Love the fact it's a fraction of the price of one's in-store.
    One caveat though, it depends on the country, but where I'm from there are strict laws with regards to cutting off branches from trees even for ones on your own property. Maybe better to wait for branches to drop off/go foraging for ones already fallen before taking a saw to a tree.

    Have to admit I was skeptical about this diy...but I love it. Because the shape is so organic, and you didn't go overboard with the foliage, it looks more realistic than most faux trees I've seen.

    Your channel is SO useful. I skip all the ikea videos because I'm brazillian and we don't have ikea here. Most forniture people can afford around here is poor quality stuff made from plastic and imitation wood, and the decor is also kind of poorly made usually and it's always kind of ugly and expensive. We don't really have a lot of good quality stuff in second hand shops too, people around here only throw away stuff when it's broken beyond repair. Your channel helps me elevate rooms and change what I can change to make a cheaply built house with cheaply produced furniture look more pretty and homely without breaking the bank. It's so very important to me to have a space I like and you help me create that I love the dry branch arrangement you made and will be trying to replicate that. ❤️

  • @CrimsonCoyoteArt
    @CrimsonCoyoteArt 2 роки тому

    I would definitely suggest sanitizing the branches before bringing them inside! It’s very possible for bugs and other things to be inside or on your sticks without knowing. I do this by pouring A TON of boiling water on them! Enough to soak through to the inside! There are other ways of doing this, but this is the method I use before giving them to my reptiles to climb on, lol.
    Love the video! I’ll Definitely be trying this.

    Hi Drew, thank you for your inspirational video. I will definitely try making an indoor tree. I use wood chips available from nurseries around my plants. The wood chips give off a wonderful earthy, woody fragrance. Another plus to using woodchips is they absorb essential oils, so if you use a fragrance you enjoy, the room smells fabulous. Thank you for all your projects , I have loved everyone of them. Gale.

    Love this!! Last winter I found a big branch and brought it in to diy something. I left it by the window until I had time to diy. After a week my daughter screamed : what is that???!!!! A tone of baby caterpillars had hatched and were all over the window and wall and just everywhere. lol I laughed so hard, me and my ideas of bringing nature inside…. Anyhow I think the heat of the house let those babies hatch.lol first time this has happened to me and I bring in branches all the time . lol, love the way your tree turned out!!

      Ohhh my gosh! I ALMOST had this issue with a tree I tossed in my yard yrs ago! ( it was just getting in my way )
      But now I want a Sakura tree. So I thought I’d use that! So I power washed it n all. But the spider sacs were TOO strong! So I carefully clipped all the “life” off the tree leaves and put them in a safe spot outside. Theeen I brought my old fake tree back in to revamp it.
      But my LORD! I hadn’t even thought about bug sacs & cacoons until I saw one id power washed over! ( I didn’t want to hurt any life.. ) so I hope I didn’t damage the casings.. but I’m also glad they’re not in my home hatching too lol!

    I love your step by step tutorial. I'm itching to make one. My grandkid told me I am funny because he and his dad chopped a real tree in my yard to make room for apple trees. I was like save that and save that branch. They don't see inside my head what I have planned, but when I finish they seem doubtful that I made it. I made branch with a bird and nest with flowers for their mom and they couldn't believe it! . Patience is needed. I love recycling materials and I speak to my tree branches that they are still with me. (I'm weird. Lol) .. Thanks for sharing this beautiful idea.
