Simple DIY Autumn Tree

With just a few materials you can create this simple Autumn tree.

My inspiration for this project was my love for Fall.

I created this using materials from my local Dollar Tree store.

Materials needed

🍁 Ribbon

🍁Fall leaves (I picked up 10 bundles)

🍁Mini lights/ I used mini leaf lights

🍁Twine

🍁 1 Plunger

🍁1 pot

🍁Scissors

🍁Hot glue

 

Creating your Autumn tree

Start by wrapping your twine around your plunger stick. 

You'll want to completely cover the wooden stick. Once you're near the middle of the stick, you'll want to stop and start attaching your fall leaves.

Take each leaf bundle, and glue it to your plunger stick.

You'll want to have some that are glued closer to the top and a few that are lower. This will help fill in spots.

  Once you have all the leaves glued on, take the rest of your twine and cover the stems on your leaf bundle. Continue wrapping them, making sure to cover the stems. Using your scissors cut the remaining twine off. 

Now you can create a bow using your ribbon. You can create any style bow that you would like. This part is completely optional.

Decorating your pot

You can use any pot. I actually already had a pot.

Take your remaining ribbon, and glue it around your pot. I did this just to add a little more fall design to my pot.  

Final Touches

Using hot glue, make sure to secure your plunger inside of your pot.

If you find that your tree is not sturdy enough, add a few rocks.

I added in a few rocks, and it helped secure it.

You can glue a few leaves on top of your rocks. This will make it look as though the leaves have fallen from your tree.

I hope that you have enjoyed this simple Autumn tree creation. 

I'd love to hear what you plan on creating this Autumn season!
