I don’t have a green thumb, so I use faux greenery.  I have used several different types and styles of greenery; I am going to share my all-time favorite bush of twigs and greenery that you can use all year long!

One of My Favorite Faux Bush

Since I took down all the Christmas decorations, I need to create something for my dining room table.  I am not ready for Spring, so for my arrangement I am using the Hobby Lobby Tea Leaf Bush.

It is the perfect bush for any arrangement and easy to work with.  This bush features a single, paper-wrapped brown stem with lots of foam and vibrant green tea leaves.  The bush is wire which keeps the stems in the position you place it, looks amazing with flowers or other greenery.

How to Create a Greenery Bush Arrangement

I love the large bowl I purchased on Amazon.  I did give the bowl a new look with paint.

I filled the bowl with 6 plastic grocery bags since the bowl is deeper than a normal container.

Below I will share how I shape each tea leaf bush to create a fuller bush.

First, pull out each leaf stem, spreading them across from each other.  Arrange the twigs to the shape you like.

I fanned out the leaf stems to fill in the bush.

To fill my container, I am using 6 tea leaf bushes.

Using the clock method like I normally do, the first bush I sat inside the bowl at 12 o’clock.

Placed three more bushes, one at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock position.

The last two, I placed them in the center, one to the left and the other to the right.

Arrange the leaf stems to fill in any holes and bare spots.

The best time to purchase the bushes is when Hobby Lobby runs their greenery 40% off.   I love how my arrangement turned out.

I placed a square basket with black string beads to the side of my arrangement for a little contrast.

Both makes a pretty table arrangement.

If you want an easy-to-use arrangement bush for your vase or container, try the tea leaf bush, you won’t be disappointed.  Maybe I gave you a push on trying these bushes!

I get a lot of questions on my Macrame Table Runner, I found it on Amazon, it’s 120″ long!
