Anyone know how to make a fake palm tree?
I just went to a birthday party that was a safari theme and they had fake palm trees. They used old umbrellas as the top. They took off the fabric and just used the frame, then covered that with paper. The trunk was pvc pipe covered with paper. The base was a x.
Reply:you are going to need lots of glue and construction paper, baby.

Reply:Carrot and a green pepper. Use the carrot as the trunk to the palm tree and halve pepper cleaning out the seeds and any pith (press knife down on top of pepper and slowly cut acroo pepper bottom. At this point, you should hace a somewhat round pepper. Cut out the design of a palm tree in the pepper.Hold together with a toothpick inserted from top of papper into core of the carrot
Reply:I say. What a spiffy idea.





To Make a Fake Palm Tree You Will Need:





1 Yucca Branch





Silk Banana Tree leaves





Power drill





Black Marker





The first step of to cut your yucca tree branch to the height you want. If you want yoru faux palm tree to be as tall as your ceiling when finished, then cut it about 1.5 feet shorter than the height of the ceiling.





You can also try using bamboo stalks in place of the yucca tree branch. Bamboo is more readily available at yoru local home improvement store.





Now, you will need about 15 or so silk banana tree leaves. These should be separated and have their own stiff stalk end to insert into the faux palm tree.





Now, at the top end of the yucca tree branch you need to drill small 1 - 2 inch deep holes to insert your silk banana tree leaves.





Simple take a black sharpie marker and make dots around the top 1 foot of the branch. Pre drill the holes where you made the marks.





Now, do not drill through the whole Yucca Tree branch.





If you are using bamboo you will see that it is hollow on the inside, which does not lend itself well to holding the banana tree leave in your tropical bedroom décor. So, use hot glue placed inside the hole to help secure the ends of the banana tree leaves.





You could also slide in some floral foam inside the hollow bamboo. This will give your leaves something to sick into.





The glue is also a fine idea if you are using the Yucca tree branch as well. Small kids may have a tendency to pull at the leaves. The glue will help hold together your fake palm tree.





Once you have all of your silk banana tree leaves in place you should start to bend them into dropping shape. Most likely they will be sticking straight out.





Your fake palm tree is finished. IN addition to a tropical bedroom decor this fake palm tree would also look good next to a tiki bar for a back yard party!
