DIY Faux Tree for $25 (8ft Tall) | Realistic Easy & Affordable
I'm on a mission to turn my house into a biophillic oasis so I've been on the hunt for a large tree. The issue is, (1) I don't have enough sunlight to make a tree happy and (2) faux trees are expensive. A 7-8 ft tall tree goes for ~$550-700 USD+. Luckily, I found some branches a lovely couple was throwing out, so I gave them a new life!
The total material cost was only $25 and I'm incredibly happy with how the faux tree turned out! The level of effort was low compared to the impact it gave. Everyone who's seen the tree in real life thought the tree was real.
I highly recommend anyone who's been searching for a faux tree to try this project out! It's beginner friendly and the size and heigh...

We wanted to grow vegetables and flowers in our small backyard but we have concrete floors and the sunlight only hits the perimeter of the yard. We removed the river rocks and built 3 large planter boxes to fit the area! Our backyard transformed from a barren land into a plant-filled oasis that birds, butterflies, and humans (us, haha) like to chill in. I'm currently growing tomatoes, peppers, ...

Awesome
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Environmentally friendly and money-saving
Kelly you’re so inspiring, we’re thinking about painting our cabinets as well. QQ, do you recommend like washing cabinets a light off white color? Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :) Do you mean Limewashing the cabinets? I wouldn't recommend using limewash on cabinets because it's a high touch area. Limewash isn't like paint where you can touch up if it gets dirty. You have to repaint the limewash for the entire surface area or else it'll look blotchy. Limewash is also prone it chipping. If you want to achieve the limewash look, I'd recommend diluting 2 shades of the same color paint (ex. light brown and dark brown), then applying it in a criss-cross patern on the wall to mimic limewash.
my new favorite youtuber
wowwwwww
Wtf there’s no way you took branches on the ground and made a whole luxury tree 😂 amazing work
Wow very nice and looks great.
Nice job!
Thank you ☺️
This was so peaceful to watch, like a little ASMR hehe inspires me to make my own planter box
Did the crescent cream wash look yellow at all once applied to the dresser, or did it look more white? It’s hard to tell from the video. I want a nice white wash, but no yellow tones. Thanks
The cream wash makes it look whiter. If you see any yellow undertones, it’s from the original wood. If you want your wood piece to look closer to white, you can add more white to your wash. It’s very flexible. Hope this helps!
Stunning
I can't believe you would only get such designs for 1200 €. The market is really screwed.
@@nano7586 It’s crazy how expensive things are these days. Gotta do it yourself if you want to make something look nice without spending a fortune.
At 5:15 when you wiped on the newly mixed brown tint to the wash, did you wipe it off after application, or just leave the wash on? Thanks!
I left the wash on. I let the wood absorb whatever it can and then wipe off the excess. Hope this helps!
This beautiful. Love it
@@luisagarcia9482 Thank you, Luisa 🫶🏼
Beautiful ❤❤^∆^
Thank you 🙏🏼
Are you mixing the three colors together in the patina
Yes, I mixed all three colors in the patina
lol I must have watched it a 100 times now 😂 really love it. Too bad they discontinued it.
Omg you're the sweetest! You can apply the same techniques to any furniture. It honestly doesn't have to be the IKEA Tarva!
Seriously?! Discontinued? I was going to order 3😢
Amazing!
Thank you, Natalia! I appreciate it
So impressive!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I want to ask: 1. Is there any other brand for Mineral Based Pigment that you recommend? 2. How many roughly should I buy the pigment? (In your Total Cost it seems we'll only need 1,050 ml or 35 OZ)? 3. As far as I understand, Patina Coat is the Top Coat in your Project. If I want to put another top coat for durability, is there any suggestion?
Can you do a video showing the steps with the preparation?
Omg I am obsessed! You did such a great job
Thank you so much 😊
OK, this is amazing! thank you for coming up with this idea and sharing! I have one question, did you apply the poly urethane to the burlap or just the wood. thanks again for a great diy. I'm subscribing to you as my first RUclips subscription!
Hi Angela! Thank you so much for subscribing. I feel honored to be your first YT subscription 🥹 The poly urethane was applied to only the wood, not the burlap. I used gorilla spray on glue to attach the burlap. The wooden frame also holds the burlap onto the wardrobe. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
New subscriber here, I love how you did this. The screenshots help those of us who want to recreate this. And I’m obsessed with the way you were doodling the plan in the beginning.. I wish my journal looked like that. Also, can I just use a warmer white instead of going back in the end? You should also add the cost without the tools! I think I saw it in one of your shorts but, it would be nice in the video too.
Hi Charlie! Thank you so much for subscribing and I’m glad you liked the journaling at the beginning ☺️ Regarding your question, are you referring to the paint wash? You can adjust the wash with any paint color you want, so if you want the wood to lean more white, add more white paint. LMK if you have any other questions! Happy to answer them 🥰
This is the video I’ve been looking for! Thank you it looks amazing!
Yay! I’m glad you like it 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Excellent job, subscribed!
Thank you 🥰
Great job ! I’m in the process of doing the same thing ! But I’m kinda confused about the primer to use ? The one you used doesn’t mention that it’s a mineral based, is it ? And does it have to be a mineral based one ? I’m having hard time finding one :(
Thank you very much! The primer I used is a shellac based primer. You should be able to find that brand at your hardware store. If you can’t find BIN, sherwin Williams also makes a shellac based primer. Hope this helps and good luck with your project! LMK if you have any other questions 🫶🏼
@@Kelly_Tang alright thank you so much 😊
do you have to completely sand off the old wall from paint?
Nope. Just paint it with a shellac primer before line washing to ensure adhesion
@@Kelly_Tang
Great job! It looks high end piece.
You’re so sweet! I really appreciate it 🫶🏼🙏🏼
This looks beautiful! Do you mind sharing where you got your pigments from and what color you used? Thanks!
Thank you! I got the pigments from Amazon and I used a combo of a few colors. You can find all the details in my long form video, including the material and ratios: ruclips.net/video/YzTSrFVJ6I0/видео.htmlsi=s3j_Kf1J2RB4UxL7
Oil based polyurethane will turn yellow over time. Water based will not yellow.
That’s great to know! I’ll keep that in mind next time I shop for polyurethane. Do you know how long it takes for the oil based poly to turn yellow?
A few months. I painted an Ikea unit off white to match my walls. I used the oil based polyurethane and now I have a yellow unit. I'm going to redo it as it looks like crap. LOL. Maybe it won't be as obvious on your project, but it was real obvious on my white paint. @@Kelly_Tang
I’m hoping that since the wood is warm toned, the potential yellowing would look less obvious. Thanks for the info!
🙏@@Kelly_Tang
But, the dresser is gorgeous!
Love it
Thank you 🥰
This came out so good. Thank you for the break down.
I’m so happy this was helpful!
Excellent job. If you touch the walls after so long, do you get coulor in your hands? Is it stable?
The color doesn’t come off the walls. The limewash feels like it’s calcified. Hope that helps
@@Kelly_Tang thank you so much for all info! I m gone try it, inside as well for external walls.
Can you use this on an exterior wall? @@Kelly_Tang
How do you choose a colour? Do the natural pigments turn out how you thought they would??
I wanted a light brown color so I mixed up pigments that would match. I had to do a few swatches on the wall before I got the color I wanted.
New to your channel and I love it! Great job on these dressers! Great inspiration for my bedroom makeover!
Welcome, Naomi! Thank you so much 🥰 It’s a very approachable hack so I hope you try it!
Soooo beautiful
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰😭
Wow, you really created an awesome hack. Thanks for sharing! I’ll give this a try
I’m glad you find it helpful! Can’t wait for you to try. Let me know if you have any questions :)
You did awesome 🎉
Thank you so much 😊
Wow nice 👍🏻 l love this color 😍
Thank you 🙏🏼 I love it as well
Looks incredible!! Would have no idea it’s just paint and stain!
Thank you ❤️ I’m tempted to use the same techniques on my doors now
Beautiful!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Love the attention to detail!
Thank you so much 😊
Are the paints that you added for a warmer feel just regular acrylic paints? Or specific for furniture/wood?
They’re just regular acrylic paints.
So beautiful!! I love the saga of the towels LOL
Thank you 🥰 Those towels are wearing multiple hats 😂
Awesome 👏🏻 Amazing and wonderful work 🎉
Thank you 🙏🏼
Too good!! I
You’re so sweet! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Just wanted to add that I really love your videos. You’re one of my inspirations, so keep being amazing 😘
Everything turned out really nice! For perspective, how much was the lighting and installation, and the same for the quartz countertops and flooring (material and labor for each). I ask because you did the cost break down in part 1 which was very helpful.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad the cost break down in part 1 was helpful. The quartz countertop was about $10k total with material and labor cost. I don’t remember the breakout but it was roughly $5k for material and $5k for labor. We did the flooring for the entire house and it cost ~$15k for labor and material. The recess lights were about $200 each to install, so for our kitchen alone, it was $1.2k (we have 6 lights). I hope this helps!
@@Kelly_Tang Yes, the video was very helpful and informative especially when you did the showroom walkthrough intel on various products and quick things one should consider! Thank you for the cost breakdown. Although you may be in a different region and your specs will likely be different, it gives the DIYer needed perspective. I forgot that you used the quartz as backsplash which increased the cost. Congratulations on a job well done!
@@jewelofwisdom8279 Thank you so much for letting me know! It helps me understand what people like and thought was helpful so I can keep that in mind when making future videos! I really appreciate it 🥰
Kelly, beautiful work, what kind of paint brush did you use?
Thank you so much, Paulette! I just used a polyester paint brush for the polyurethane coat. But in retrospect, I would’ve used a foam brush instead so I can just throw it away. The polyurethane is very difficult to wash out of the paint brush!
@@Kelly_Tang Thank you.
