How to Make a Paper Mache Jungle Tree! 

To see a lady making a treehouse dollhouse, check out Where The Gnomes Live channel. She's making a forest in her craft room but it's taking a bit longer for what she's doing. Thus video gives me ideas though, like that if I want a treehouse, I could bring the tree inside rather than the house outside

Glad you enjoyed it!

I wish you luck! I'm glad it helped.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can give me.

@Callan Ezequiel instablaster :)

@Isaiah Reuben i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Isaiah Reuben It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

The tree isn’t in our house. We made it in a place that we rent out to people during the summer for family reunions. There will always be guest’s to enjoy it, especially children. We also did some cool things in the other rooms. Every room has a different theme. Watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a1cuSKkgqK0.html if you are interested.😀

@@EmilysArtStudio ahhh makes sense! Yes very cool. Ever since the Star Wars Ewok Adventure movie I’ve always wanted to live in a tree. ✊🏻🤣. I am a carpenter by trade so at some point I may just live in a tree. Lol.

​@@EmilysArtStudiocan you please post the link again? It says it's private and I really want to see more, lol 😓💚💙💜

Thankyou😊

I'm glad you liked it!

I'm glad you found it helpful🙂

I'm glad you liked it. The tree is still in great condition! Every year or so I touch up paint where the plaster gets nicked and chipped occasionally. Theses are all really small chips though and after they are painted blend right into the texture of the tree. Save paint colors for this! I would also recommend putting down some plaster mesh where the tree meets and blends into the wall if you dont want the plaster to crack along this area. This happened to us! But it still looks okay. I think this is largely due to the wall also having a lot of texture, so all I had to do was paint the wall color along the crack to make the separation look more natural.

I'm glad you liked the video:) Sorry! I didn't document the structure-building process. I probably should have... That was my dad's project. I might be able to get some instructions, but he might not remember everything exactly, and it might be hard to follow without pictures.

@@EmilysArtStudio Hi, thanks for coming back to me! No problem! Anything you have would be a massive help! :-) We are quite new to this and aren't really sure where to start! :-p

I didn't add any primer or sealant, but I don't think it would hurt to. The tree is also is holding up quite well. It gets a lot of use so every year or so I have to touch up a few places where the plaster gets nicked, but its not a huge deal. Just save a little bit of paint for that. I would also suggest putting down some mesh where the tree meets the wall. The plaster cracked along that area. Hope this helps! Good luck on your project!

@@EmilysArtStudio Thank you for the answer 🙂 I went with black gesso in the end, mostly because it was what I had available at home. Again thank you for that inspiring video, will follow your channel for now on 🙂

They are scott shop towels:)

The glue, towels and joint compound cost us around $500. I can’t remember exactly though.

@@EmilysArtStudio okay, thank you for your fast reply 😊 !

I'm not sure what link you are talking about. I don't see where I wrote out a list of supplies, but I can give you a basic list here. Basic supplies would be plywood, two by fours, nail gun, staple gun, saw, ladder, chicken wire, branches, masking tape, shop towels, Elmer's glue all, joint compound, water, 5 gallon containers, 1 gallon containers, disposable gloves, rolls of paper, wire, acrylic paint, paint brush, caulk, screw driver, clippers, fake leaves and vines, and rope. I hope this helps:)

I don't remember what they were called. Sorry! I wish I recorded things better. Good luck on your project:)

The tree doesn't gather very much dust. I think this is due to the leaves and branches being so far up in the air that it's not it in an area that dust can reach when it gets turned up from sweeping an other things. We haven't had to clean the tree yet, and it still looks about the same. The supplies for the tree cost around 3,000 dollars.

You can get them a lot of places. Just type in "Scott blue shop towels" in Google search and it should show you different places you can get them in stores or online.

It's on a property in Paradise, UT. My parents Vrbo it during the summer. We did some cool themed stuff in other rooms as well. Check out these links if you are interested:) www.vrbo.com/1169791?noDates=true&unitId=1720520 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a1cuSKkgqK0.html

Sorry about that! I forgot I had a link here. My mom recently canceled her website, so that information is gone. The written instructions wasn't too detailed though. It was just a retelling of what you see and hear in the video. You can just watch the video and write down the things you think you won't remember. I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

@@EmilysArtStudio Thank you Emily. At 11.13 in the video, you mention what you used to do the last layer of the tree. I am not a native English speaker and I did not understand what material you used (something compound?), so I wanted to look it up. That is what I was hoping to find in the written instructions. :-)

Actually, never mind, sorry, I found it in one of the older comments. Joint compound... Will go and translate that now. :-) Thank you for the video. We are planning to do a much smaller version of the tree for our daughter. We already found some other instructions on the web, but your video really gave us some great hints on materials and techniques we could use!

Awesome! I wish you luck!
