DIY SPRING/SUMMER FLORAL ARRANGEMENT!
I saw a beautiful floral arrangement at Hobby Lobby,
and instead of paying $169.00 for it, I
decided to try to make my own!
I bought all the florals at Michaels.
They are currently having a 70% off
sale on all their "spring stems"
I bought the pot a while ago from
Hobby Lobby when it was 50% off.
I love how it turned out!
It brings in beautiful colors
and a summery feel to the dining room
SUPPLIES:
 |
6 (or more) Floral Stems (I chose dahlias)
2 (or more) Greenery for filler
3 (or more) decorative spring colored beaded stems |
 |
1 decorative pot
brick of floral foam (cut up to size of pot) |
 |
hot glue gun
scissors
towel (to protect table)
floral stem cutters
butter knife (to cut foam)
STEPS:
- Lay out all supplies and cut the floral foam to fit inside of your pot
- Start by cutting one stem at a time to desired length. You can put the foam and stem in the pot to see how high it will be. Make sure to cut the stems at different lengths to give it a more layered and natural look.
- Start placing each stem into the floral foam.
- Once the floral stems are in, start placing the beaded stems between the florals. Work with it until you have it how you like it.
- If needed, use the greenery to fill spots that may look empty so your arrangement is full and lush from all angles.
- Hot glue all stems into the foam.
It's hard to see in the picture, but all the stems
are glued to the foam to give them extra support.
7. Place foam with everything attached into your pot. At this point, you can hot glue the foam to the pot. I didn't do that incase I wanted to use the pot again for another arrangement, I can just switch out the arrangement for whatever season. If you don't glue the foam to the pot, put the foam in and crumple pages of magazines and stuff it around the foam until the arrangement is center and supported enough so it won't move around.
8. Lastly, use fake moss to lay over the foam and the crumpled paper so you can't see them.
