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.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
This turned out so good .. I have to try this !!
Teresa ..
I hope you do try and then tag me in so I can see. It is a cute little plant to have anywhere in your home. Walmart has olive stems for $3 you might want to check them out.
Just an FYI. Wal-Mart is selling these for $3 and they are truly very nice. I bought some already for the house.
Thanks Tina. I just went today and saw the ones you are talking about. Yes they are very nice. Are you making a tree or just adding them to a vase or bottle?
Hi Terrie this is adorable and you are wearing your crown very well. These are so expensive and you came up with a great solution.
It’s fun making topiary for me because they are so expensive.
Pinning for you.
