It's time to start looking at your plants differently. Before you know it, you'll be thinking that some of your botanical friends can easily pass as antlers. A green stag horn antler with curly leaves, that is. As an additional advantage of this plant antler is that it has no eyes to follow you around the room!
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.
How to make it
1
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.
2
Paint the shape black.
3
Screw the Tillandsia directly onto the wood. These plants get nutrients and water directly from the air with their aerial roots.
4
Remove the elkhorn fern from its pot, wrap the rootball in moss and secure the moss with wire.
5
Drill two holes in the wood and feed wire through them to secure the rootball.
6
Hang up the deer heads.
7
Use a spirit level to draw a frame around the display, and crudely outline it with white paint.
8
Stick straight lines of washi tape on the inside of the ‘frame’.
9
Regularly spray the elkhorn fern’s rootball with a plant spray to keep it moist. Tillandsia likes to be sprayed all over.
