DIY 7ft FAUX OLIVE TREE & Textured-Pottery Planter

[@olgaolesh5759]

Hi, this is honestly the best video on youtube on making a faux tree! The fallen leaves were just. freaking. genious!!! I could never think about such details. Most people just take a real tree branch, but I really adore the time and effort you made.

[@thatsgeng678]

Wow, thank you very much! I’m blown away.🙏🏼😊

[@NurseSnow2U]

Spot on and SO eloquently stated!!! I found his diligence to be super refreshing in our fast paced, corner cutting world!!! Beautiful turnout!!! 😍

[@thatsgeng678]

Wow thank you🙏🏼☺️

Thought your tree looked lovely - wasn’t sure where you were going with the foil but it looked great when finished. Not a fan of the bucket container though TBH - I think the colour was wrong, which I think you did too. But great job otherwise.

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you very much! And yeah that bucket haha, i don’t even like it. But i did try and now i learned that doesn’t work :)

[@katy_9748]

Absolutly AMAZING diy 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🌿

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you🙏🏼😊

[@thechileans6058]

Made a mistake first mix in another pot. 2- apply a little bit of oil. Cuz when it dries it’s so complicated.

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you for the tips,it will be easier next time dealing with cement😊

[@mcoutu6849]

Beautiful tree!! I am trying some drywall compound or spackle on my pot…wish me luck.

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you! And yes, i’m sure you do it better than me😊

[@jodimoss1406]

Next time coat your bucket with cooking spray

[@thatsgeng678]

Ah thank you! I’ll keep that in mind☺️🙏🏼

[@centriha4]

This is so awesome! , I wish I had the skill and patience to do it this way but yours looks better than store bought

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you very much! Let’s try it. If i can do, so can you😊

[@liltsummerlin423]

AMAZING!!! You did a beautiful job and it looks a hundred times better than any that I've ever seen in a store ❤ I feel like you have ADHD (like myself). We are super creative like that!! I also love putting my own twist on everything!

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you very much🙏🏼😊, you made my day! And haha yes, creating is like a meditation in somehow and the outcome is a story even if it good or bad

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you! And yes, it’d be an artistic one in White. I think it’s gonna look cool!

[@shezwaepowell9114]

where did you get the olive branches?

[@thatsgeng678]

I got them online, mine was from Lazada. You can go Amazon, eBay or any your shopping platform..many options but they all from china i believe

[@megan2878]

I love that you own your mistakes, (even though I don't see one!) A masterful work, just like it came from a store. Just gorgeous.🥰Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you very much! i’m so flattered. And yes,we learn from all the mistakes, what a boring project if we get a smooth process, right😆

[@spiderswebs11]

tree was good, but the pot needs throwing away.

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you! And that’s what thought haha

[@manolilopezdominguez9339]

Son hojas naturales o artificiales

They are artificial😄

[@LillyVooVoo67]

Incredible! I agree that filling out the bottom is even more beautiful. The tip on using the hot glue to create texture! OMG. Next level for sure. Bravo and thank you!!!

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you very much! You made my day🙏🏼😊

[@mommygarcia9137]

OMG ! It’s absolutely gorgeous ! Better than a store bought one !

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you very much! Haha wow i’m flattered by that…also in terms of the form,the looks and fit into place i want, it’s perfect.And it’s standing still since then so, it works😊

[@cbisme6414]

As an artist who does sculpture you used all the principles of the mechanics of the skeleton of a piece and did it beautifully, I absolutely love it, congratulations it's beautiful 👏👏👏 as a hint, wipe petroleum jelly on the container, or cling wrap before putting the cement it, it makes it so easy to get the base out.

[@thatsgeng678]

Oh wow thank you very very much! I’m flattered, and thank you for the tip, you couldn’t imagine how i struggled behind the camera haha,i can tell you are expert:)

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you🙏🏼 i think i’m good at the process, but for video editing and stuffs…you have know idea how struggle i am lol

[@LisaReynolds-eh7tw]

Yours is just beautiful! more real than ones you can buy, can you tell me did you use 28 inch olive stems or 18 inch olive stems? oh an how many ... thanks so much for sharing!

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you very much! I use 7stems in total, 2 of 28inches and 5 of 18 steams. But for now I’d say you no need the 28inch, you may just only get 18inch ,grouping up to make bushier one, just add on as many as you want, and the height of the tree is depends on the tube you get

[@LifeBread]

Nice

[@thatsgeng678]

Thank you!

[@keyofliberty2009]

How much did you end up spending in materials?

[@thatsgeng678]

I’d say around 20 in USD give and take,believe that! Most stuff i got from leftover..so mainly needed to get is the olive stems.But depends on currency and where you live tho,as we all know everything quite cheaper here in Asia compare to States and Europe😁

[@Classical2000]

Would you be able to share (the link)where you got the leaves?

[@thatsgeng678]

I bought them online. I picked up from multiple places,actually. You can check out in any your favorite shopping platform, like; olive branch | eBay m.alibaba.com/product/62019607601/FC7514-Artificial-silk-olive-branches-for.html Amazon.com : olive branch

[@thatsgeng678]

I believe they are all from China, i recommend you better check out many places, compare and update the prices..as we all know they quite swing day by day

[@kimnguyen-cn8uc]

Beautiful! What kind of paint did you use to paint the tree? I wanted to try to make a cherry blossom tree. This video was so helpful!

[@thatsgeng678]

Hey thank you, i use a regular art-work acrylic colors and sometimes with my wall paints i left over.They are all water base so, you can mix up with the water if the color is too thick and easy to blend

[@thatsgeng678]

Do your one! I’m sure you gonna like the outcome 😊

Geng! This is a great video- learned so much and am going to make some small ones for my mantle. Love how you manipulated materials and used them to make this look so real! Best video I have seen- and I’ve watch 9 before getting to yours- and you hit this out of the park! Excellent work!

[@thatsgeng678]

Oh wow,Thank you very much. You made my day. I believe yours gonna looks better than mine. And maybe you try to press the low heat (cover up with some cotton just in case) to the curl leaves to get them straight as i think the real olive has, that’s one thing i would try:)
