Procedure

When it comes to putting together an artificial living wall, the options are seemingly endless. You can choose a cascade of dense, overflowing leaves to create a lush garden effect or a collection of multi-coloured leaves in varying sizes and shapes that bring a tropical ambiance to your space.

After selecting the location for your artificial greenery wall project, measure the area you where you will put your wall.

 Before you start making your artificial greenery wall, you need to have the proper tools and decorative materials on hand

Using your screwdriver, attach your French cleat to the back of your frame or plywood.

Then, take your hot glue gun and attach the pink insulation to the front side of the structure.

Glue the faux plants, greenery and artificial moss to the fake living plant wall frame. This will create your primary landscape, which you can arrange as you see it.

After the glue dries, use your fingers to gently wiggle the attached pieces to make sure they cannot be easily pulled off.

 If the pieces seem loose, secure them to the fake greenery wall with more glue and floral pins.

Once everything is fastened securely and looks good, screw or tie the frame to the wall surface.

Take care when you do this so you do not damage the wall.
