Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Purchase a section of wooden trellis.
It should be of a decent height (tall enough for it to make a break in vision, and if possible, higher than the average person). -
Step 2: Cut the wooden wall trellis into three equal pieces
These pieces will be joined together again in a way that allows them to be bent or folded. , Tie the first piece with the second piece, then tie the second piece with the third, using wire or rope. , Add more of this material until the plants completely cover the trellis.
The dried plant parts are best when they are of the same height (or longer) as the divider you are going to make.
Live plant vines could also be used but they're trickier and you will need to place the container growing the plant down in its final place before weaving.
Moreover, moving the divider is much harder when you do this, so it's best for a more "permanent" divider, such as for an office.
Instead of dried plant parts, you can use artificial floral items, such as long leaves, etc. , Angle the three partitions so that the divider stands in place unaided.
Plant containers or similar weighted objects can be used to prevent the divider from falling over if accidentally knocked. -
Step 3: vertically.
-
Step 4: Reattach the pieces to form the divider.
-
Step 5: Weave dried plant parts
-
Step 6: one beside other
-
Step 7: through the frame squares.
-
Step 8: Put the divider up where you need it.
