My friend Liz does something similar to this with bare branches, but I had the advantage of going a step further and actually having old, dried-up leaves on the branches.

I needed to cut a few branches off the
tree out front at the beginning of October. Normally I immediately
strip them bare and cut them into kindling and firewood.... But I
knew Halloween was coming!

Sadly, that didn't last all the way until
the 31st. Along the way, we had near-record rainfall for the season.
That and the accompanying winds took all the leaves off within a week or
two.
On the bright side, the soggy soil made it easy to "plant" the "trees" to begin with, so I can't complain. In fact, once the first group were stripped, I added a few more "trees" around the yard to enhance the effect. It could conceivably be carried still further with the addition of cobwebs and a blacklight. Or birds in them. But maybe next year. |
