Hey there!  If only I had a green thumb instead of a painted one. 🙂  Maybe I would have a live plant to share with you today instead of a DIY faux one.  Today I want to share how I made a faux olive tree topiary for my kitchen.  I found one I really like but the price hit me smack dab in the face.

Here are the items you will need:

• 4 olive branches
• 1 twig from your yard shaped in a Y
• floral foam
• flower pot (I painted an old one I had)
• floral tape (I used green and painted it brown, you can save a step and use brown floral tape)
• Spanish moss
• wire cutters
• hot glue gun and glue sticks

Let’s get started on making an Olive Tree Topiary.

 MAKING THE BRANCH

• Removed all the little stems off the bundle.

• Using the floral tape, I taped all the little stems on to the twig.

PLACING THE BRANCH INTO THE CONTAINER

• Taking the floral foam, hot glue gun and glue sticks, container.

• Add glue to the container and place the foam into the container.

• Make a hole in the center of the foam, add some hot glue and place the stem into the foam.  Add some more glue to the stem.

 

• Add Spanish moss to the top of the foam.

PAINTING THE STEM BROWN

• Since I used green floral tape I am using my Truffle Waverly chalk paint and painting the tape brown.

That’s it !!  It was so easy to make and the best part, it was under $15 to make.  That’s a huge savings!

If you want an Olive tree, save this on your Pinterest board until you are ready to make one for yourself.
