Eucalyptus Wall Hang Tutorial [Easter Double DIY Part 1]

It's been a minute since I have shared a Holiday Themed DIY Tutorial.
I have been thinking a lot lately amount of unnecessary trash is produced in the name of Holiday Celebration! Do Not Read Me Wrong! I am in NO way suggesting you skip the Celebrations! But rather, consider the possibility that something you may be about to purchase will end up in the garbage in a few days, weeks, or even months. If the answer is YES, perhaps you will want to consider DIYing or re-Purposing your own variation out of something you may already have! This will require more effort on our part as well, which may have you re-considering if you even need / want something after all?! If you take it back to a time or consider a current place in our modern world when we as humans produced a sustainable amount of trash, you will likely find that humans were/are also producing a LOT of their own materials for day to day life!
I am grateful to Cecilia the Owner of Primrose & Willow who hooked me up with some eucalyptus stems. I used them to create this DIY Wall Hang, perfect for welcoming Spring or adding a Fresh, Spa like feeling to any room in your home! I love the concept of bringing Nature inside to decorate for all seasons, Spring especially!

Supplies Needed:
  • Eucalyptus 
  • A Branch
  • Twine (if made by natural fabrics such as Cotton, can also be composted) 

How To: 
As Easy As 1,2,3

Step 1: Trim off any access stem from the ends of your Eucalyptus (I was fortunate to have received clippings from a very detail oriented florist, which minimized the amount of excess stem I had to remove).

Step 2: Tie lengths of cotton twine to the trimmed ends of your eucalyptus branches, leaving lots of excess length.

Step 3. Tie a loop of twine to each end of the branch for hanging, & tie the apposing ends of the twine to your branch, (staggering them as you see fit, consider adding other natural elements, such as flowers or berries).
