Natural plants and flowers are certainly the most beautiful thing there is, they are gifts from nature that we should be thankful for, and there is nothing better or superior to what the Supreme Creator has done.

However, something we can do to elevate our environments is to combine the natural plants we have with artificial plants that we can make with our own hands. This combination of elements will make your environments richer and if you manage to recreate them as they are in nature, I assure you that these creations will be incredible conversation topics. Today I want to show you the DIY Eucalyptus Plants to decorate, and the inspiration came to me from aromatic eucalyptus essences that I love to have in my house, and now to accompany it I made this craft that I show you below.

Antes de empezar realicé unas pruebas del tamaño que quería de las hojas de eucalipto, y pude determinar que la medida del tirro debía ser de 10 cms, entonces marqué en una hoja esa medida para no tener que tomar a cada momento.

Empiezo con el tirro y abro la medida que marqué en la hoja. Sin cortar doblo los 10 cms de tirro sobre si mismo (sobre la pega) y aplano con mis dedos.

Now I cut the strip and fold it again, this time nothing will stick together because the glue already coincided in the previous step. From the part that had the fold I start to cut a circle with the scissors, it doesn't have to be perfect, it just follows the width of the strip.

When I get to the fold part I leave a space without cutting, since opening this space without cutting will allow the two sheets in the shape of an irregular circle to stay together.

This pair of circular and irregular leaves can be repeated as many times as we want in our design. In my design each leaf stem will have between 5 and 6 pairs of leaves, and I'm only going to work with 7 stems of the eucalyptus plant, so I cut off as many as I needed, but this can definitely vary depending on taste and desired design.

Now the fun part is painting. I made a combination of greens to achieve the one I wanted, but if you have one you like you don't need to combine colors anymore. I painted each pair of leaves, twice on both sides and then waited for it to dry.

I cut the florist wires with the cutting pliers at different heights. I inserted the florist wire in the center of the leaf joints and continued inserting the pairs of leaves as I wished, separating them as they really are in nature.

The DIY Eucalyptus Plant is ready to decorate any space. I put each stem in this glass jar that I decorated with some jute twists, nothing too difficult, you can put it in any pretty container you have. In the container I put some stones or transparent acrylic rocks that I had stored and they looked perfect in their ensemble or the Zen decoration concept that I had in mind.

I have this humidifier that I put essences in, and one of my favorites is eucalyptus essence, so the decoration makes a lot of sense.

You can make the eucalyptus plant as simple or as leafy as you like, this is what I had in mind to place next to the humidifier.

I hope you enjoyed today's Hive DIY, and I also invite you to try something simple like this, you'll see that you'll want to make more or even give them as gifts.
