In recent AliExpress unbagging videos I occasionally featured random bits of fake foliage. Here's the project that uses them.

It lets you create a custom sized housing to suit your application, and then populate it with your choice of random foliage or stems of crystals.

The first version of this project was a simple cylinder shape, but the new version is more stylish and versatile. It was originally intended to be used in place of the usual globe on a mains powered LED bulb, but only after it has been hacked to reduce the power rating and keep the temperature at a sensible level. See my videos about doobying (Dubai-ing) suitable LED bulbs. (I can't foresee every variable, so you modify the bulbs at your own risk.)

The use of a very common USB powered illuminated base is safer and gives you more options for choosing cold or warm white and even RGB with a remote control.

There are no fixed rules for this project. You just make what you want. The end result is a totally custom feature light that nobody else will have in quite the same style. The foliage/crystal supports are intended to be a light friction fit to allow you to modify the light as desired.

Here are some links to various items on AliExpress (not a sponsor).

All these items may appear as bundle deal options when you view them or add them to your cart.

There are many options for fake foliage in places like Ali and eBay or in local shops.

Here's the script to make your custom base. I used clear PLA to make mine.
