DIY Floral Arrangement


This DIY was an idea that came to me while I was waiting at line to pay some stuff at Hobby Lobby  and because the line was so long I had the opportunity to see all the silk flowers that were on sale, and I loved some purple roses that were perfect for a must needed renovation of a floral arrangement I had on my house, so I bought 4 of them for $10 and went back home to make my project.



Because this was a renovation, I didn't buy any vase, but you will need these things for this DIY

-A ceramic vase (you can paint it the color you prefer)
- Floral Foam (that you have to cut to fit the inside of your vase)
-2 Long sticks (you could get some from a tree or use some plastic sticks and paint them brown)
-4 Large Silk Flowers
-Thin ribbon
-Mod Podge and Sponge
-Glitter


If you're renovating an old arrangement, you'll only need to remove the flowers and clean the vase.
If you're doing it from scratch then you have to insert floral foam to the inside of your vase.

Cut the flowers to your desired length using wire cutter.

Insert the flowers and the long sticks, these are used to support the long flower, then attach them using thin cord making a bow.


Add a coat of mod podge to the inside of the vase and then add the glitter. Let it dry.



This was really easy! And it made my table look completely different.
