When my daughters were toddlers, I wanted to create fun, unique rooms for them that they wouldn’t outgrow quickly. I thought, if I am going to put all of this effort into a room décor, I don’t want to have to change it in 2-3 years. I decided on a “Forest” & owl theme for one of my girls.
I created a willow tree and a cherry blossom tree. For the willow tree, I started with a branch from a live tree and bolted it to the wall. I then drilled holes and inserted smaller branches to create the tree shape. I used wood glue to keep the branches in place. I then attached plastic willow pieces that I bought at Michaels crafts with wire to the ends of each branch. For the cherry blossom tree, I started with a branch from a live tree. I created the branches similarly to the willow tree. I found cherry blossom picks at The Dollar Tree and hot glued the blossoms to the branches.
I stapled wood colored picket fence from Home Depot to the wall using an air compressor & pneumatic staple gun. I stapled greenery I bought at Michaels crafts and numerous different fake flowers purchased at The Dollar Tree to the walls.
A forest was created. I chose an owl theme quilt from Target that has trees to finish the room.
Happy Decorating…
