My boyfriend Dan is currently building a house which is exciting stuff! I'm particularly excited because of the decorating opportunities this brings AND I'm getting a craft room!! I haven't decided if he is being nice by giving me the craft room or if he is just tired of having my "craft crap" all over the living room. Either way, I am so excited! I have a few craft room projects to show you in the coming weeks but for now I will show you how to make this cheap greenery piece that you can use in a variety of spaces.
Materials: Variety of greenery ($1 per bunch from the Dollar Tree)...about 3-4 bunches, 1 green Styrofoam block ($1 from DT), and 1 gold planter tin ($1 from DT)
First I cut down the Styrofoam block to fit tightly inside the tin.
Then I began adding greenery. I arranged mine in the diagonal position because I wanted the display mine with the corner as the "front".
I put the long tall branches around the outside and then filled in the middle until all the Styrofoam was covered. I could have used some dried moss and hot glue to cover the Styrofoam prior to putting the greenery in but I was able to fill it in enough that you can't see the Styrofoam through the greenery.
Perfect for a kitchen counter...
or a living room end table. Total cost $5!
My boyfriend and I are hosting a cookout this weekend so I will have some great cookout recipes and a very fun dessert to share with you soon!
