TikTok's Unique Decorative Tree DIY Brings Whimsy Vibes To Any Bedroom On A Budget

The whimsical aesthetic trend embraces your inner child by incorporating joy-inducing, and sometimes eccentric, design items into the home. It's all about showing who you are in your decor with no concern for judgment or rules. Color, prints, vintage components, and nostalgia run free here. One element seen in a lot of whimsical motifs is nature. Flowers, trees, clouds, and birds reign in this dopamine-generating style of decoration. The bedroom is a great place to start building this look — after all, it's the space where dreams happen. Of course, it's not always feasible to sit a full-grown tree next to the bed. Fortunately, with a little DIY initiative and the right paper products, you can tap into this theme on a budget.

If you want to give your bedroom a refresh without spending a fortune, a DIY wisteria tree will do the trick. In this project, you'll learn how to handcraft a trunk, branches, and graceful pink blossoms that climb the wall using brown builder's paper and faux flowers. TikToker @chanellegiani completed this project in two rooms, adding twinkle lights to one and leaving the other plain. Check out how to get this ethereal look for your room.

Builiding a whimiscal DIY tree

If you're looking for beautiful ways to add trendy, whimsical accents to your home on a budget, this is it. To start, pick up builder's paper, like the rolls available at Home Depot for $12.98, and faux wisteria vines like this 24-pack by Luerbi on Amazon for $26.99. Amazon also sells adorable fabric cherry blossoms in a six-pack by CEWOR for $24.99. For a discount design, check out the selection of dripping blossoms at Dollar Tree for $1.25 a bundle.

Start by twisting the brown paper into a rough trunk and tree branches. Use hot glue or staples to hold the twists in place. Attach the boughs to the wall with your removable adhesive strips. Next, adhere floral vines where you think they look best. Finish with twinkle lights for a truly ethereal effect. You can add a tree in each corner of a small bedroom to create a magical canopy, or if you have a four-poster bed, string it with floral vines to complement your tree sculpture. Who knew you could use fake flowers to create inexpensive wall art? This playful bedroom DIY will have you waxing nostalgic about the cherry blossom artwork of childhood Studio Ghibli films, and wistfully drifting off into a flower-filled dreamland. Try it for yourself to add a touch of whimsy to your home decor.
