Here are the materials you will need:
cutter
You can purchase trees, shrubs, and hedges at Deovir, a local arts supplies store, as also the green flocking that you will use as grass. These are trees used by architectural firms when they make scale models of their projects so you can find lots of different varieties in-store. They’re also relatively inexpensive so you can make lots of them at one time.
When you’ve prepared all your materials, begin by using one of your round canisters to trace a round shape on your styrofoam board. Cut it using a craft cutter. (For kids, ask an adult to help you with this.)
Stick your cut styrofoam circle into a larger circle made of cut-out cardboard (here is where you will need different sizes of canisters and bottles). Spread some glue over the styrofoam circle and gently press it on the green flocking. When you turn it over, you will have covered it completely. Poke your pencil through the center of the circle to make room for your tree.
Using hot glue gun, stick your grass around the sides of the green circle. Do the same for your tree by “planting” it in the center of the styrofoam circle.
This is how your finished tree (or shrubs) will look like!
Easy peasy! Have a lovely weekend, folks!

- glue
- any round bottle or canister (different sized)
- styrofoam board
- cardboard (you can use leftover boards from old shirts and underwear)
