DIY trees

Dear Readers,

A few days ago I showed you some DIY flower beds I made for my village.
Today I would like to share with you my first attempt at DIY trees.
I made two types of trees. One of them was inspired by Mimi´s blog.

The other one is very quick and easy to make.

You just need the following:

A round ball of green foliage, a real twig, a bottle cap and air dry flexible clay.

(I bought the ball of green foliage in a home decor shop. I paid 2€ for it but I´ve just found it on eBay  cheaper with free shipping)

I´m sure you have already figured out how to turn these materials into a tree so there won´t be much explanation, just a few photos to illustrate the project.

It only took me a few minutes to make the trees. Then, I thought the base should be improved and I tried to cover it up with some fake moss but I didn´t have the right kind of glue and this part was a bit messy and sticky. My fingers ended up covered with glue.

You can skip this step but I think the base looks better when it is decorated.

 Decorating the base is what takes a bit longer but  not that much, really. The rest, as you have just seen, is very straight forward and quick to make.

I also made an orange tree, at least that´s what is meant to be, following this tutorial 
on Mimi´s blog.

To be honest with you, I´m quite happy to add some trees to my village.

They are quite stable on a flat surface but they are a bit wobbly on the green mat I have. When the trees fall off they knock down everything on their way. Domino effect, if you know what I mean.

In this last picture you can see the trees,  the new path I also made and one of the flower beds.

What do you think?

Thanks for visiting!

See you soon!

Lots of love
