A few years ago, I saw this idea on Pinterest, and I've wanted one ever since. But I just can't seem to find a branch that looks like it would be big enough to hold the birds.
I went out to our front yard and started looking at the branches to see if anything might work - I had the urn from forever ago. It's from Hobby Lobby.
As I was looking at the branches of our Live Oak, I noticed bumps on them that looked a lot like bug sacs, but they weren't. I'm still not 100% sure what they are, but I think it has something to do with budding acorns. Who knows. I am not very good with plants.
I pulled one of the branches off - yes, I'm very precise when it comes to these things - and pulled all the leaves off of it.
Just to be sure that those bumps weren't bug sacs, or that any other tiny bugs might still be on it, I sprayed it with a bunch of matte spray sealer. So far, so good, and that was several weeks ago.
I put a tiny piece of floral foam from the Dollar store in the bottom of the urn vase, then shoved the branch into it. I wanted to put some old, stringy looking moss on top, but I didn't have any. I'll probably add that when I get a chance.
Finally, I draped some fake spiderwebs across and put a little spider hanging from it.
Spider tree complete :D
