CREATE YOUR OWN GREEN TROPHY
Create your own green trophy to hang on your wall to give yourself something fresh and new to look at. These green antlers have a traditional, nostalgic vibe - perfecting fitting with the current style trend, Traditional Sentiment.
YOU WILL NEED
- A wooden partition or wall
- Drill
- Paper
- Some moss.
- Black and white paint
- Antler-like plants, such as elkhorn fern or a Tillandsia
- Screws, wire
- Saw
how to make it
- Fold a sheet of paper double and draw a random shape on it. Cut it out, unfold it, trace onto the wood and saw out the shape.
- Paint the shape black.
- Screw the Tillandsia directly onto the wood. These plants get nutrients and water directly from the air with their aerial roots.
- Remove the elkhorn fern from its pot, wrap the rootball in moss and secure the moss with wire.
- Drill two holes in the wood and feed wire through them to secure the rootball.
- Hang up the deer heads.
- Use a spirit level to draw a frame around the display, and crudely outline it with white paint.
- Stick straight lines of washi tape on the inside of the ‘frame’.
- Regularly spray the elkhorn fern’s rootball with a plant spray to keep it moist. Tillandsia likes to be sprayed all over.
