Hang an artificial palm frond wreath on your door.

This is a fun way to add color and style to your front door without adding the commitment of a live plant.

The only downside is that it needs to be hung outdoors since the leaves will dry out if left inside. If you don't have access to an outside wall, consider hanging it from the ceiling with wire or ribbon!

Make a fan of an artificial palm frond for your mantel or buffet table.

Here's how to make a palm frond fan that you can display on your mantel or buffet table.

What you'll need:

Artificial palm fronds (you can buy them online)
Staple gun and staples or hot glue gun and hot glue sticks/sticks
Scissors, tape measure, pencil or pen

Step 1: Cut the fronds down to size. You want them to be about two feet long and one foot wide, but you can adjust this depending on how many fans you want to make.

Step 2: Measure out a piece of paper as tall as your palm fronds are wide, then mark off lines at one-foot intervals.

Step 3: Cut out the paper, then cut along the lines you marked to make a grid.

Step 4: Use your scissors to cut slits in your grid square. Make sure that one end of each slit is about an inch from the edge of the paper and that they're all spaced equally apart. Step 5: Put a staple or hot glue gun into each slit so that it's sticking straight up, and then place one of your palm fronds over them.

Step 6: Use a staple or hot glue gun to secure the front to your fan. You want to ensure that you don't get any glue on the edges of the palm frond because this will look messy when you're done.

Step 7: Repeat this process until you have enough fans for your event.
