Easy DIY Floral Arrangement
With spring in the air (and pollen covering everything), I wanted to do a fun spring project. Nothing says spring like flowers, so I decided to create a quick, easy, and inexpensive silk floral arrangement. Check out the step-by-step guide to a DIY Fun, Fast Floral Arrangement!
Before beginning any project, look around to see what you can use that you already have (saves money and reduces clutter). I spotted a cute, unused galvanized steel pot and thought it would be the perfect holder for the flowers. I knew I already had floral foam, scissors, and wire cutters.
I headed out to find the flowers. Happily they were 50% off, so I grabbed some large, full hydrangeas and some decorative floral picks.
Since we were having one of those gloriously perfect spring days, I decided to take an allergy pill, wipe up the pollen, and head outside to work. I felt much more inspired outside than inside, and the creative juices flowed much more freely in a beautiful environment!
Supplies:
- Container for Arrangement
- Floral Foam/Styrofoam
- Wire Cutters
- Scissors
- Knife
- Silk Flowers
- Decorative Flower Picks
Quickly trim the floral foam to fit the container using a knife and place it in the pot, basket, or whatever container you choose to make sure it fits. Don’t worry about any imperfections. This won’t be seen in the container. The flowers will cover it.
If the flowers are need to be deconstructed or trimmed, untie and separate them. Use wire cutters to trim the stems to the height needed to stick in the floral foam and clear the top of your decorative container.
Play around with arranging the flowers to get the look and height you want. If the arrangement can be seen from all sides when it’s on display (on a table or counter), make the tallest height of flowers in the center. If it’s going against a wall, place the tallest flowers in the back. Insert the largest flowers in the floral foam. Rearrange until you get the look you want. Add the accent floral picks to fill out the design and add texture and color to your creation.
The last step is to place the arrangement into the container. Step back and admire your creativity!
Spending a few minutes of time outside on a beautiful day and a little bit of money can really brighten your mood and your decor!
