DIY Seating Tree
This DIY seating tree is perfect for the frugal bride. Total cost was under $12. I’m not sure you can get cheaper than that!
Materials:
Sticks
Foam Brick
Moss
Potting Soil
Ribbon
Fake Flowers
Pot
(we got all items from the dollar store)
Steps:
1. Cut the foam bricks according to the size of the pot you purchase
2. Pour soil on top of the foam bricks
3. Place sticks into the foam ensuring that they’re secure
4. Place moss over the foam pressing it into the soil
5. Decorate the tree with a few fake flowers
6. Create your seating cards, punch with a hole punch and tie them to the tree with ribbon
Note: You can easily kick this tree up a notch by using real manzanita branches and real flowers. Adapt it by using tissue flowers or tulle flowers instead!
love the centrepiece!
