Living in Santa Monica California it’s impossible to find a large branch. Unfortunately, but fortunately for me after the hurricane a few months ago, I finally got my dream branch from a fallen tree and I am currently making my dream tree. Thanks for the inspo.
I am so grateful for demo. You are the first one I found d who created a fake tree improvement video. Thanks again. Your true looks great with out over doing or painting it.
I love this. I opted for a branch Xmas tree this year(kept seeing huge branch when dog walking). White lights & minimal ornaments & it was stunning. We’ve decided to keep it up all year because it was so beautiful. Makes living room sooo inviting. Now, I just need to remember this is a cobweb haven & to clean every month! Thx!
I did this several years ago using very realistic looking cherry blossoms. Everyone who sees it raves about it. One of my favorite things for Spring. Your tree is gorgeous.
Thank you Valerie, i can't tell you how many live plants i've lost in my lounge due to lack of light, this is a perfect idea, i'm retired so have plenty of time to do this, big thumbs up to you. Trev, Manchester, UK
HOLY MOLY!!!!!! THIS IS BY FAR THE BESSST FAUX TREE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! You did a great job in recreating OUTDOOR / inside... I love the whole aspect of bringing outdoors inside... its my whole home's aura. Gives everyone a sense of tranquility and peace... and having floor to wall ceilings and a forest outside you can view 360 degrees from any room in my home.. you would understand why I LOVE LOVE LOVE the look of nature around me. I am definitely going to try this, because I have birch trees outside and always wanted to do a DIY with them. THIS is a great idea, especially since my formal living room is 12ft tall...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this. Keep up the greatness.. had to sub!
@@ValerieAguiar awww, thank you, it actually has been the home I've been praying for for so long. Being a New Yorker most my life, then moving down to the south.. awww, I found my place to at ONE with nature. New Yorken born and raised, but country calm at heart. Been on a mission outside, searching for my bare tree branches to begin my project. Can't wait. I printed a pic of yours as a reminder on my fridge to make it happen ((smiling)) I just LOVE IT!!! Love your videos.. please keep inspiring, you're awesome!
@@lisamw101 Wow, I can completely relate. I love the calm of the outdoors as well. I'm so glad you found that, it was absolutely meant to be. Thank you for your sweet words and encouragement! Your kindness means a lot :) Have a great weekend, take care! 💕
I have never ever seen anything like this in my life. This is outstanding! I can hardly wait for some of the snow to melt so I can get to my tree's. Oh, and I did subscribe.
Hi Victoria! Oh... snow can be a bummer! Especially when you want to knock out a DIY like this! As soon as enough of that snow melts and you can get some branches, I'd get on this ASAP! Come back and let me know how it goes! And thanks for your support by subscribing 💕

Thanks so much for your video😊Bravo 👏🏻 on the tree. It looks amazing! I have been wanting to do this Exact project for a couple years. Was discouraged by my husband who just told me to buy one. 😮I’ve never found one that met my needs or style. I have how ever never stopped mentioning that I thought I could do better. Well I’m definitely going to do it this weekend 🎉 Thanks for the encouragement I needed. 🫶🏻 Have a Blessed week 🥳
Hi Paige! I agree, I have a few faux trees that I've bought which are super expensive, and honestly, they don't look as good as they should for the price!! This DIY is a perfect solution to that! 💕
Beautiful! I actually had a very similar idea about 3 years ago. I still have my branches attached in the kitchen but I never managed to find anything suitable enough (few faux options in Sweden to be honest and most are expensive), so I just have my tree. But i really wanna do something with it eventually, maybe even with diamonds hanging on it. Thank you for this amazing tutorial, sparked some thoughts!
I love this February is cold and a werid month after the holidays We search for crafts... to look forward this caught my eye am doing this ... this week thank you for sharing ...
You did a spectacular job!!! I'm SO jealous and wish I had your tree!!! I've been wanting to fill a corner and can't find what I'm looking for. Until I saw your tree. Sigh. Hope I find the big branch to start the project, I'll keep my eyes peeled! Thanks SO much, you've really inspired me!!!!
Athena... you're too sweet. Thank you for the kind words. It makes me happy to hear that I've been able to inspire you! Get out there and make it... and come back to let me know how it went! 💕
I was searching for ideas for a faux tree for a playroom bedroom for my granddaughters. When I ran across your video I knew that was the faux tree that I wanted to make. Thank u for the great inspiration! I subscribed to your channel n look forward to more videos.
Omg this tree is absolutely gorgeous ! I’ve seen two other you tubers diy these trees Jasmine Douglas & Fia Garcia Diy ! But this is the largest tree I’ve seen diyed!!
Wow!! This was amazing and simple and affordable too!! I was agonizing over spending $200+ over a realistic faux tree and this was right up my alley! Thank you so much for sharing. I totally just subscribed💜
Thanks for watching Erica! I do the same thing all of the time! Those faux trees can get pricey!! I don't know if I will ever buy another faux tree again! 😄
I have been going to do this exact thing for the longest time but with little “shelves” hidden in the leaves for my cats. I had thought of using your second method but had not even thought your first method would be possible. Thank you so much for posting. It looks amazing - better than any I have seen for sale xxx
Aw, thanks Carolyn! By making them you can focus so much more on attention to detail. It really does make the ones you pay a ton of money for in the stores not even comparable!
I would have to do a price comparison before I took this project on. I’m sure your $50ish dollars in leaves is still much less than a store bought ficus tree would be. But the beautiful huge pot would be quite pricey to buy and difficult to find at a yard sale. But it was a gorgeous outcome when you were finished! You have a great eye and I am enjoying your channel, which I just found when I was searching for back porch flooring ideas.
@@ValerieAguiar Omg thank you! #fangirling LOL. Currently watching your aged stone planter vid and I'm OBSESSED! Your DIY vids are SO GOOD!! Keep killin it girl!
Hi Lis! All I do is use recycled bags to fill around the pot and then put the moss on top. There's a little more detail in this other branch video I did last year ruclips.net/video/ts-6u1TJMTE/видео.html. I hope that helps! 💕
I absolutely love your tree!! It is so large and full......but just full enough!!! I never realized these trees you buy look fake as they are too full. Simply stunning!! Great job Valerie, so amazing!!❤️
Valerie that was amazing! Lots of work but amazing after I’ve seen you do this I know that we have probably branches that we could probably use to make a tree trunk, and the funny thing is about three weeks ago I had a fairly nice ficus faux tree And I said it out on the street for someone to pick it up LOL but I must say the leaves from Hobby lobby were beautiful if I choose to do this DIY I will certainly show you thank you again beautiful work be blessed
I hate when you donate something and then almost instantly you need or want it back! 😆😩 It always happens to me! But I have to agree, the hobby lobby stems are pretty good! 🙌🏻
How awesome! I did something similar about 4 months ago for a homemade birthday shoot, but with flowers instead to look like a "blossoming" tree. Kept it because I can rent it out for parties or the like. 😊
Absolutely gorgeous...I have been looking for a exactly what u made...I love trees but don't have the time to maintain a real one... definitely going to try my hand at it..so glad I happened onto your channel..
What an amazing job!!! I will be trying to make one too now that I've found your video that explains "how to" step by step. Thank you!!! ❤. Also....I noticed your sofa in the video. My husband & I have been looking for this type of fabric sofa. Crazy question but...May I please ask where you got your sofa from? God Bless! ❤
I purchased bunch of olive leaf sprays to make a tree. That ficus leave looks awesome. Now I am thinking to return olive stems and make one with ficus stems. Yours look amazing. It would cost more than thousand bucks, if it was in a high-end store.
That took a lot of work and patience! This is the first time I’ve seen anyone do this! The work was well worth it! Looks so real!
Yes... a ton of patience!! Well worth it in the end, though!

This is incredibly beautiful! I absolutely love this and you did a fantastic job! Super inspiring and I'm excited to make my own!
Your kindness is so much appreciated! Thank you for watching! 💕
I would love to make a Japanese red maple. Making one's own tree would be so much fun.
Wow - your tree came out beautiful! I'm always so impressed that you do DIYs that are classy rather than kitschy! Thank you.
I appreciate that Anne! I love a classy look too! 😉

Your tree is so beautiful and realistic. I want to do an Aspen.
Incredible! I can't even believe how great the tree looks! I am sure Hobby Lobby will be sold out of those leaves! So freaking beautiful!
Your the sweetest thank you! I'll keep an eye out on the faux stems. They were actually cheaper online than in stores a few weeks ago!
The tree looks beautiful.
Thanks Patricia!
And you thrifted that amazing pot!!!!! Wow impressive
Thank you! 😊
I like this kind of tutorials every one is doing the same things your tree came out gorgeous
Thank you!! 💕
The first leaves look like California pepper! We have them all over Orange County. I love your projects! 🙏🏼😘❤️
I used to have those at my childhood home! Aren't they beautiful! The smell is wonderful too! 😍
Great work. The same with fake flowers no leaves like almond tree.
Thank you!! 💕
This tree is just the BEST! Thank you for showing us how to make it!!!!!
Thanks Sandie!! Have a great week! 💕

Thanks for the support Eric! 👍🏻👍🏻

What a wonderful tutorial. It looks so real! Amazing.
Thanks so much 😊
So clever! It looks stunning. I'm wondering how long the branch will last before it dries out and shrinks??
We have another branch I did something similar to and it still looks great. We have it saved in the garage for more of a "winter" tree 👍
I loved how you did the tree. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely love your tree!! It is so large and full......but just full enough!!! I never realized these trees you buy look fake as they are too full. Simply stunning!! Great job Valerie, so amazing!!❤️
Thanks Bonnie! This was one of my favorite DIY's! I don't know if I'll ever pay buy a faux tree again! 😄
what a beautiful job!
Thank you! 😊
That tree is absolutely beautiful. Great job.
Thank you Barbara! It's the perfect addition to our space! One of my favorite DIY's to date! 😊
Looks awsome! I think I will look around who cuts their trees down and create something like this but in a smaller scale.
That's a great idea! I see piles of tree cuttings people throw out all of the time! Great idea!
Ficou lindo.mas muito trabalho uma planta natural cairia bem também. Mas confesso essa mulher é incrível parabéns
Muito obrigado. Você é tão doce! Agradeço por dedicar seu tempo para assistir!

Yeah, you could do that! I would probably just take a duster and dust it, but either way works! 💕
very VERY cool! great job!!!

Looks beautiful in that space! You did a great job!
Thanks Jeannine! It was a huge savings and such a fun DIY!
This is fantastic!!!
Thank you!!
Really cool... I am already thinking where I could be putting this DIY...But def. thinking for my turtle room this would be a great addition.
Oh how fun!! I love that idea! 🥰
I purchased bunch of olive leaf sprays to make a tree. That ficus leave looks awesome. Now I am thinking to return olive stems and make one with ficus stems. Yours look amazing. It would cost more than thousand bucks, if it was in a high-end store.
Hi Nur! Right? These trees cost so much in the stores! It's nice to have an alternative and not pay those crazy prices! 💕
Wow super impressive 👏
Thanks a lot Samantha! 😊
Absolutely beautiful!

I love, love, love this tree! Outstanding!
It turned out so great! Very happy with it! ☺️
Wow = That was a lot of effort that really paid off.
