DIY - Flower vase made from a tree trunk

Immerse yourself in a world of creativity and natural beauty as we create a charming rustic decor project together! With a few simple steps, we'll transform a thick piece of tree trunk into a beautiful decoration that will fill your home with natural charm. Enjoy the process of creating and decorating, and let your imagination run wild. Here are the easy steps to create your own rustic DIY decor:

Materials needed:

• A thick piece of tree trunk
• Test tubes, e.g., from vanilla pods
• drill
• sandpaper
• Dark stain or wax
• Water
• Flowers
• Optional: Moss

Step 1: Preparing the tree trunk

• Let's start your rustic decorating project together! Carefully saw off a thick slice from the tree trunk and straighten out a curve so your decoration will stand securely later. With each cut, you might already feel the anticipation of the finished result.

Step 2: Drilling the holes for the test tubes

• Now for the nitty-gritty! We'll use the drill to make two holes in the bark at the top of the tree trunk. These will later serve as the perfect holders for our test tubes.

Step 3: Sanding and varnishing the tree trunk

• Now it's time to get creative! Take the sandpaper and smooth the surface of the log slices until they are nice and smooth. Then lovingly apply a dark stain or wax to give the wood a warm, rustic charm. Every brushstroke brings the centuries of history of the log to life.

Step 4: Decorating with flowers and water

• Time for the finishing touches! Pour water into the test tubes and place your favorite flowers inside. A sight that will warm your heart! Arrange the tubes on the tree trunk and add some moss, if desired, to enhance the natural beauty.

After these steps, you have completed your own rustic DIY decorating project. Every detail bears your personal touch and comes together to create a beautiful overall picture. Now you can be proud of your creativity and enjoy the unique atmosphere of your handmade artwork.
