# DIY Flora Decor Leaves & Branches Wall Art By Bianca | Published 2007-12-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-leaves-branches-wall-art References: [trendhunter](http://www.trendhunter.com/bianca) I recently saw these recycled iron and pressed metal leaves and branches in a [magazine](http://www.skymall.com/shopping/detail.htm?pid=102517724&c=), and was astonished at the $34.95 price tag. While the hand-painted rustic crackle finish in green, rust and orange look great, DIY types can spare themselves the money and easily make a similar piece of creative art themselves. All it takes is a few dried branches (wheat actually works beautifully), some [decorative ribbons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merry-sparkles-outdoor-decor) (which you've likely already unpacked from your Christmas back) and a wall to hang them on. Another neat option is to coat them with glitter, gold or silver spray paint. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Home Decor:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional home decor industry by empowering consumers to create unique and personalized home decor. - **Upcycling and Recycling:** Opportunity to disrupt the waste management industry by promoting environmentally friendly practices through creative upcycling and recycling. - **Personalization and Customization:** Opportunity to disrupt the mass-production industry by promoting unique and custom-made products that cater to individual taste and preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The DIY trend presents an opportunity for traditional home decor retailers to incorporate DIY elements into their product offerings. - **Waste Management:** Upcycling and recycling could potentially disrupt the traditional waste management industry by reducing the amount of waste produced. - **Manufacturing:** The trend towards personalization and customization presents an opportunity for manufacturers to create custom-made products, disrupting the traditional mass-production model. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Ceramic Homeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-homeware1.md) - [Artsy Hanging Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-air-plant-mobile.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [Sparkling Illuminated Festive Wreaths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starry-wreath.md) - [Vibrant Dynamic Wall Plant-Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floos.md) - [DIY Plant Decor Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-it-yourself-plant-stand.md) - [Crystal Floral Arrangement Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-crystal-floral-kits.md) - [Recycled Wood Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-christmas-tree-alternative.md) - [Pampas Grass Holiday Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pampas-grass-holiday-trees.md)
