Methods and devices for rapidly weaving three-dimensional plant shapes. The plant-weaving device comprises an outer receptacle that is capable of receiving a frame support that supports a variety of three-dimensional frames. Plants with long stems are prepared and inserted in the plant-weaving device, and are woven around and secured to the frame. After weaving, the plants may be stored or transported.
