Congratulations on the purchase of your new olive tree. We know you’re ecstatic with the newest addition to your home decor, and with cause. With its light, slender, and airy shape, the fake olive tree instills the sense of the Mediterranean into any environment. So, while you’re pretending to be in love with your new beauty, you could be planning a few new DIY projects to tackle right from the source. Continue reading to discover more design ideas from our fantastic clients. These ideas may also be used to other fake trees, so feel free to share the love.
1. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BRANCHES
Some individuals like minimalist-inspired imitation olive trees, while others prefer a more lush and verdant appearance. If you fall into the latter category, a great DIY project is to add imitation olive trees with natural olive fruits in various hues for a realistic effect. As a caveat, we do not propose drilling holes into the faux trunk because it might cause harm to the item; instead, we recommend using a sticky tag or another method to connect the faux branches to the trunk.
We mention this because some of our trunks are made of wood, and we don’t want that beautiful wood to be damaged by a do-it-yourself project gone awry. Stay on the safe side instead, and you’ll have one less thing to worry about.
2. ADD MORE MOSS
One of the best-kept secrets of interior designers is that you can blend synthetic plants with natural materials to make them appear authentic. Because of the stigma associated with the usage of fake greenery, we understand that many of you may be hesitant to include false plants into your home. You’ll need to put your olive tree in a planter to apply imitation moss.
After that, try placing newspaper under the planter to raise the height of your tree; the newspaper will need to be stretched across the top of the planter to serve as a placeholder for moss. After you’ve finished this step, scatter the artificial moss around the top of the planter.
3. INCLUDE PHONY DIRT
There are several methods for adding artificial soil to your imitation olive tree. We’ll look at two options for accomplishing this without breaking the bank. One of the simplest methods is to place your artificial tree in a planter and fill it with imitation dirt.
Another method is to put a cardboard piece the size of the planter as a barrier between the imitation soil and the nursery planter where your tree was delivered. Some people like this approach since it is cleaner and easier to use when switching to a newer pot. Option two, on the other hand, is preferable for shifting seasons.
4. CHANGE PLANTER
Because the environment stimulates sentiments and influences our well-being, it’s simple to get dissatisfied with your present décor as the seasons change. This is why we offer a cost-effective method of replacing your planter throughout the year. This easy method will not only make you feel more connected to nature, but it will also allow you to embrace external elements. Consider a more festive vase for a fun holiday DIY.
