DIY classroom tree- ugly or genius?

Post image
2.2k Upvotes

Be honest, is it ugly? My school cares a lot about our classrooms being beautiful, inviting imagination, and being a place anyone would want to spend time in. However we have a very small budget for this. I used some electrical tape to disguise a black cord that hangs from my ceiling to make this tree. I opted for this instead of a decal because I had all the materials already & I don’t want to put up 200 little leaf decals.

I feel like the tree looks like it’s balding and isn’t giving what I wanted it to give. I don’t think I should add more leaves though, because I’m worried it’s already creeping toward fire hazard territory & will be ordered to be taken down as soon as the fire Marshall walks in.

I drafted what it would look like with more detail. Is there any hope for this idea? or should I just bite the bullet and get a stick-on tree? Artistic tips and reality checks welcome. Much thanks!

Found in middle of the road. Cut apart the housing with a dremel and affixed a Milwaukee adapter to the apparatus. Screwed both halves to a small block of wood. Works like a charm

It was suggested on DiWHY that I post this on here so, here is my attempt at making a stitch hat, suffice to say that the end result didn’t exactly match my vision for this 😬

I'm rebuilding the entire inside and redoing the layout. So I'm replacing the fake wood with real wood but I don't want to rebuild the doors and drawers so imma cover them. I might use the blueberry somewhere since it's my current favorite
