Make Your Own DIY Balloon Flowers for a Party

Are you looking for an easy and creative way to add a touch of color to your next party? Look no further than balloon flowers! With just a few simple supplies and some basic crafting skills, you can create colorful flower arrangements that will be sure to turn heads. Read on for an overview of how to make balloon flowers.

VIEW IN GALLERYDIY Balloon decoration ideas

Gather Supplies

The first step in making balloon flowers is gathering your supplies. You’ll need balloons in the colors of your choice, curling ribbon, scissors, and a balloon pump (which is optional). It’s best to stick with round balloons because they are easier to shape into petals. Once you have all the supplies, it’s time to start crafting!

Create Petals

To create petals, inflate the balloons with either your mouth or a pump. When using a pump, be careful not to overinflate the balloons as they may pop! Once the balloons are inflated, tie them off with curling ribbon. Then cut off any excess ribbon and use scissors or your fingers to gently shape the end of each balloon into a petal-like shape.

Attach Petals Together

Once all of your petals are made, it’s time to attach them together so that they form a flower-like shape. To do this, take two petals and tie them together at their base with curling ribbon. Repeat this process until all of the petals are attached together in one large bouquet. At this point, you can also add leaves by tying green balloons between two petals.

DIY Balloon Flowers Tutorial

Making balloon flowers is an easy and fun project that will add some extra personality and color to any party or event! All you need is some colorful balloons, curling ribbon, scissors and a bit of creativity – no fancy tools required! Have fun experimenting with different colors and shapes – just remember not overinflate the balloons too much or they may pop! Happy crafting!

What kind of balloons do you need for balloon flowers?

For DIY crafters looking to makeballoon flowers, the best kind of balloons to use are Qualatex 260Q. These balloons come in a variety of sizes and colors and have a long-lasting helium capacity. The 260Q is also great for creating different shapes, such as flowers, hearts or stars.

How many balloons do you need for balloon flowers?

Generally, you will need 3-4 balloons to create a single flower. The number of flowers you need depends on the size of the decoration you want and how many people can fit around it. For larger arrangements, you may need up to 10 or more balloons.

What is the best way to inflate the balloons for balloon flowers?

The best way to inflate the balloons for balloon flowers is to use a hand air pump or an electric air pump. When using a hand air pump, you should ensure that it is properly attached and secure before you start inflating the balloons. An electric air pump will typically provide more consistent inflation throughout the entire batch of balloons, so it may be preferable if you are looking for more uniform results when making your balloon flower. To make sure that all of your balloons have been inflated evenly, consider measuring the circumference of each one once they have been filled with air. If any of them appear to be underinflated or overinflated compared to the others, then adjust accordingly until they are all at the same size.

How do you tie the balloons for balloon flowers?

To tie the balloons for a balloon flower, it is helpful to have some twine or string and a pair of scissors. Begin by evenly spacing out five balloons in a circle around the room. Cut two pieces of twine; one should be twice as long as the other. Tie the shorter piece around one of the balloons and then stretch.

What is the best way to cut the balloons for balloon flowers?

The best way to cut the balloons for balloon flowers is by using sharp, pointed scissors or a craft knife. This ensures that each cut is precise, allowing you to get the desired shape and size of your flower. When making balloon flowers, it’s important to take your time in cutting so that you don’t stretch the latex of the balloon.

How do you put the balloon flowers together?

The process of putting balloon flowers together is relatively simple. Firstly, begin with a long twisty balloon for the stem of the flower. Then, using a smaller twisty balloon, make five petals and attach them to one end of the stem. Finally, you can add leaves or other decorations to your creation if desired.

How do you make the leaves for balloon flowers?

Making the leaves for balloon flowers is relatively easy and can be achieved with a few simple steps. Start by cutting four circles from green cardstock. The sizes of the circles will depend on how large you want your leaves to be, but usually they are around 3-4 inches in diameter. Next, use a hole punch or scissors to make several small cuts all around each circle’s edge – this will give them a more realistic look as most real leaves have small jagged edges. Finally, attach the leaves together at their centers and secure them in place with glue or tape. Your balloon flowers now have lifelike foliage.

What are some tips for making balloon flowers?

To make successful balloon flowers, there are some tips to keep in mind. First, use quality balloons that will hold air for a long time. Second, try using multiple colors for the petals for added interest. Third, use floral wire or floral tape to secure the petals together and attach the stem of the flower. Finally, don’t forget to add creative touches like ribbons or streamers for a truly unique look

15 Fun DIY Ribbon Crafts and Projects

When it comes to choosing which materials to use in our crafting processes, we tend to go in phases where we have new favourites here and there and we binge on them a little bit. That might sound unconventional, but we’ve actually found that this has helped us learn all kinds of different techniques, which makes us much more diverse crafters! Lately, our number one crafting love has been working with ribbons, so we’ve been keeping our eyes peeled for awesome DIY ribbon projects that we’ve never tried before.

If you’re feeling just as interested in the idea of making awesome ribbon crafts as we have been, if not more, here are 15 of the very best ideas, designs, and tutorials that we’ve come across so far in our search for inspiration and guidance!

1. Advanced satin ribbon floral wall hanging

VIEW IN GALLERY

Are you actually quite experienced indeed in working with ribbon and you’re also the kind of patient person who adores very delicate and detailed crafts? In that case, we think you just might be the perfect person to give this stunning floral ribbon wall hanging outlined step by step on Vinni’s Craft Ideas a try! They outlined the instructions for gathering and pinching the ribbon just right to make all the cute little flowers.

2. Custom gift ribbons

VIEW IN GALLERY

Were you actually searching for ribbon crafts in hopes that you’d come across something nice and decorative that you can not only share with others but that’s also kid-friendly enough to make with your little ones? In that case, we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at how Kid Spot made these customized gift ribbons that they hand decorated with simple markers or felt pens!

3. DIY ribbon sensory box for babies

VIEW IN GALLERY

When our kids were very little, they’d get their tiny fingers into essentially anything within their reach. While we loved that they were exploring and learning about function and texture, we were also constantly paranoid that they’d get into something they shouldn’t and hurt themselves. That’s why we thought this ribbon based sensory box craft outlined with all kinds of cool, creative detail on Simple Fun for Kids was such a good idea! The ribbons give your baby all kinds of things to pull on and fiddle with in a way that’s educational and safe.

4. Fun ribbon wands

VIEW IN GALLERY

Like our kids, are your kids always the most enthusiastic about crafting when you’re helping them make something that they can continue to use or play with once the DIY process is finished? In that case, we have a feeling you’ll have just as much success as we did with this fantastic tutorial from Alpha Mom that teaches you nice and simply how to make a ribbon wand like the kind a rhythmic gymnast might use! Our kids have been twirling with theirs ever since we helped them make some last week.

5. Wire and ribbon rainbow cloud

VIEW IN GALLERY

Maybe you’re the kind of person who loves making DIY wall art and you love the idea of using ribbons in that process but you’re just not sure that the floral ribbon wall hanger we showed you earlier on our list is quite the choice for you? In that case, we’d definitely suggest taking a look at how Dream a Little Bigger made this colourful but still minimalist looking rain cloud and rainbow using silver crafting wire and differently coloured ribbons!

6. Curly ribbon hair bows

VIEW IN GALLERY

When you started thinking about the idea of making something from ribbons, was the idea of creating your very own hair ribbons the very first thing that came to mind? In that case, we think you simply must take a look at how She Knows created this lovely, colourful hair ribbon that really adds some bounce to any hairstyle! Their tutorial shows you how to curl and layer it perfectly.

7. Motor skills ribbon pull board

VIEW IN GALLERY

Are you actually still feeling quite intrigued by the sensory play box we showed you a little earlier but your baby is slightly older and more interested in sitting, standing, and climbing now, so you’re looking for something even more interactive but still along those lines? In that case, we think you might get along a little better with something like this tutorial from Still Playing School that shows you how to create a larger standing ribbon pull board that’s great for working on motor activity.

8. Dancing ribbon rings

VIEW IN GALLERY

Were you actually pretty intrigued by the concept of making something like the ribbon wand we showed you earlier but you can’t help wondering whether you might make a version that involves even more ribbon than what you saw there? In that case, we’d be willing to bet that these awesome rainbow dancing ribbon rings outlined step by simple step on Buggy and Buddy might be right up your alley!

9. Easy ribbon and button headband

VIEW IN GALLERY

Are you actually still thinking about how much you liked the idea of making some kind of adorable ribbon based hair accessory but you’re just not sure that the curly concept we showed you a little earlier on our list will actually stay fastened in your child’s hair? Then perhaps you’d get along a little better with something like this adorable ribbon and button hairband outlined nice and simply on Craft Passion!

10. Ribbon and button elastic bookmarks

VIEW IN GALLERY

If you’re going to put in all the time and effort it takes to make something from scratch using ribbons, would you actually rather create something a little more practical that you might use more often, maybe even on a daily basis? In that case, we’d totally encourage you to take a look at how Sparkles of Sunshine used ribbon, small hair ties, and cute heart buttons to create these stretchy bookmarks that will hold your page in your novel very well indeed (and look cute doing it).

11. Popsicle stick and ribbon weaving looms

VIEW IN GALLERY

Are you the kind of DIY enthusiast who adores doing weaving based crafts and projects to the point that you’re hoping to get your kids involved in learning how to do so as well? Then we think you’ll really appreciate the way Buggy and Buddy used popsicle sticks, string, and a basket of short ribbon pieces to make a beginner’s weaving activity that’s totally child friendly!

12. DIY Kanzashi beetles from satin ribbon

Knitting Gorgeous Patterns: 15 Beautiful Ribbon Embroidery Designs

Sure, we could always take on a particularly advanced lace knitting pattern or try our hand at a much more intricate embroidery design than we’re used to, adding beads to keep things exciting. But for some reason we’ve just been obsessed with the idea of learning a new skill instead! We’d still like to keep things in the handicrafts and needlework department though, which limits our options a little bit. Imagine how excited we were, then, when stumbled upon the world of ribbon embroidery!

Just in case you’re as intrigued as we were by the stunning concept of ribbon embroidery, here are 15 of the most beautiful and inspiring patterns we’ve come across so far!

1. Embroidery hoop and ribbon florals

VIEW IN GALLERY

Perhaps this is going to be your very first ribbon embroidery project and you’re looking for tips and tricks for making it as easy on yourself as possible? Well, one of the biggest challenges we ran into in the beginning of our exploits in this department was keeping whatever we were embroidering still and stretched so that we could make our pattern neatly, evenly, and with relative ease. At first, we experienced a lot of knotting and wrinkling that really got in our way! That’s why we were so grateful to find out that the same embroidery hoops we used for cross stitching are helpful here too! See what we mean in more detail on My Crafts.

2. Spiralled ribbon rosettes

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you been dabbling in ribbon embroidery for a little while now and you’re actually mostly on the hunt for new, simple techniques to try out so you can make the prettiest images possible? Then we absolutely think you should take a look at the way Leisha’s Galaxy made these beautiful little blossoms! They guide you through the process of using ribbon to make little looping leaves and spiralled rosettes that stand out wonderfully from your canvas.

3. Pretty ribbon chandelier

VIEW IN GALLERY

Now that you’ve looked at a couple of different designs are you feeling like perhaps you’re in over your head with the whole embroidery idea, since you’ve actually never really worked with ribbons before, period? Maybe you’re actually looked for an introductory ribbon craft that you can do with your kids so you can slowly start leading them towards learning how to do ribbon embroidery just like you. In that case, perhaps this cute little ribbon chandelier idea would make a good starter craft until you (or your kids) are ready for something a little more difficult. See how it’s done on This Girl’s Life. 

4. Silk ribbon embroidery with pearl bead detailing

VIEW IN GALLERY

No matter what kind of textile or needle based craft we’re doing, we can’t help but feel like adding a bit of sparkle and pizzazz to a project every once in a while is a great idea. It keeps us interested and it’s also often a little more difficult to do, so we really appreciate the basics and simplicity of the regular designs we’re used to when we go back to them afterwards. This stunning pearl and ribbon embroidery idea featured on Pinterest is the perfect example of what we mean! We adore the way they replaced some of the rosettes in their pattern that would normally have been made of ribbon as well.

5. Silk and ribbon embroidered pillow cover

VIEW IN GALLERY

If you’re going to go to the trouble of creating an absolutely stunning hand embroidered piece, would you rather create that pattern on something that you made by hand entirely from scratch, so you feel really satisfied at the end of the project? Then we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at how Euphoria Craftwork sewed themselves a beautiful silk pillowcase and embroidered flowers into that using ribbon.

6. Ribbon embroidered flowers with chiffon petals

VIEW IN GALLERY

Did we really catch your attention when we started talking about different embroidery embellishment ideas that have some texture and will stand out from whatever you’re working on in a really pretty way, but you simply cannot stand working with beads? Well, we think they’re great, but we can totally understand how some people might find them a little too finicky to be enjoyable. Perhaps this idea for using small pieces of chiffon to create fun textured flowers would be a little more up your alley. Get the full tutorial for making these from Elvin Kurdela.

7. Looped layered ribbon roses

VIEW IN GALLERY

Were you pretty intrigued by the idea of making small roses out of ribbon but you can’t help but feel like you know you’ll want to make bigger, more dramatic roses the moment you’ve finished the little ones because you really just love the idea that much? Well, start with the little ones just to say you did and once you’re finished, here’s a backup design from Arts and Crafts Club that will guide you through the process of making bigger ones! We love the layering technique they used to really give the roses body and volume, just like the real thing.

8. Silk ribbon hydrangeas

VIEW IN GALLERY

Just because you’re using a technique that works well and looks good on fabric doesn’t mean you have to create things like pillow cases and textured cross stitch style pieces! We happen to think that ribbon embroidery is a beautiful enough technique that it could easily be displayed on the wall like art. That’s why we were so happy to find this awesome canvas wall piece created by WN. They show you how to capture the beauty of hydrangeas using silk ribbons.

9. Ruffled roses with twisted ribbon stems

VIEW IN GALLERY

Similarly to the way knitting patterns often combine different stitches and stitch patterns in on design or garment, ribbon embroidery can actually do the same thing! This stunning rose wall piece outlined on Needle Work is the perfect example of what we mean. They show you step by step how to create fluffy looping petals and how to twist your ribbon tighter in order to make lines for the stems.

10. Ribbon embroidered and hand pearled pin cushion

VIEW IN GALLERY

Perhaps you’re actually an extremely experienced needlepoint artist who has worked with all kinds of materials before and doesn’t feel intimidated by ribbons at all, so you’re looking for a pattern that’s much more advanced than what we’ve shown you so far? In that case, we absolutely think you’ll appreciate the beauty of this hand embroidered pin cushion made with ribbons and pearled beads. We can’t get over how stunning the tiny, differently coloured blossoms look in shapes that mimic all different types of real life flowers! Get the full details of how to make each one on Lorna Bateman Embroidery.

11. Plush backed and painted ribbon embroidery with a frame

VIEW IN GALLERY

Do you find that you’re most interested in learning new techniques when you’re able to combine them with other kinds of art that you love creating as well? Then we think we’ve finally found the perfect idea for you! Crafty Attic shows you how to embroider a beautiful flower with awesomely unfolding leaves, each made from ribbon. Then they show you how to hand paint a lovely vase right on the canvas you just embroidered before you frame it!

12. Ribbon embroidered handkerchiefs

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you always been the kind of person who loves sharing your artistic skills with your friends and family by giving them lovely little handmade gifts, so you’re always collecting ideas for very small things that you can make a few of without overworking yourself? Well, there’s no reason that ribbon embroidery can’t be one of the things you share with your loved ones! We completely adore these cheerful sunflower handkerchiefs hand embroidered using a pattern from Elvin Kurdela.

13. Ribbon embroidered Valentines

VIEW IN GALLERY

Did we really catch your attention when we started talking about simple ribbon embroidery crafts that your kids might be able to try so they can make beautiful things right alongside you, but your kids are actually a little bit older and you think the ribbon chandelier idea we showed you earlier on our list might be a little too simple even for them? Then here’s an adorable idea that’s easy, cute, and lets them share their skills, just like you love doing! Too Crewel shows you how to twist ribbon around itself as you embroider very simple shapes like X’s and hearts to make a lovely Valentine’s Day card (or any greeting card for a loved one, if you ask us).

14. Glass covered ribbon embroidery tea tray

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you recently created a beautiful ribbon embroidery piece that you’re actually really proud of an you’re looking for a way to show it off that will actually let people see it up close rather than just hanging it on the wall? We love that idea, but we also like the idea of keeping our handmade things protected so they don’t get ruined. That’s why this stunning ribbon embroidery tea tray idea featured on Elvin Kurdela is the perfect compromise! They show you how to make a lovely floral pattern but also encase it behind glass like it’s framed, even though you’ll be able to use the tray whenever you please.

15. Ribbon embroidery on felt

VIEW IN GALLERY

Rather than finding ribbon embroidery patterns that your kids can make themselves, would you rather find something cute that you can make for your kids? We love that idea too, but we also like the idea of making sure it’s something the kids can actually play with, rather than just staring at it while it hangs on their wall. That’s why we thought this ribbon embroidered felt play set created by Fairy Fox was so incredibly adorable! They show you how to make tiny glasses and a whole pretend key lime pie with it’s own lovely box from scratch, as well as how to make it undoubtedly the prettiest toy your child has.

15 Dried Flower Crafts that Make Great Fall Decor

Recently, we felt a little surge of inspiration when we saw the way the flowers in our garden were beginning to dry in the chilly morning weather, reminding us of stunning art pieces and handcrafted decor we’ve seen before that was also made of dried flowers. Naturally, being the avid crafters that we are, we scooped up what flowers were left, dried them properly, and began a hunt for good, autumn themed ideas that we could use our newly dried blossoms to make! Sure, we’re sad to see our precious summer plants fall away with the warm winds, but a new DIY project always helps us appreciate any situation.

1. Pressed flower shadow box

VIEW IN GALLERY

In your opinion, does the beauty of pressed flowers speak for itself enough that you don’t feel the need to really dress it up too much? Then perhaps you’d prefer to just arrange your flowers in a way that displays their beauty as well as possible in order to brighten the place up a little with a reminder of warmer days throughout the fall! We adore the way Design Sponge put theirs inside a pristine looking white shadow box.

2. Fall pressed flower canvas

VIEW IN GALLERY

Are you very intrigued indeed by the idea of making some kind of beautiful floral wall art with your pressed flowers, but you’d rather not separate your viewers from the flowers by glass because you think it feels impersonal? Then perhaps you’d prefer to do a little bit of dried flower and canvas decoupage, just like Homedit did here! They show you how to carefully seal all of your flowers to the canvas just as you’ve placed them, so the edges don’t lift and peel.

3. Framed pressed leaves and fall poem

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you actually found that you’re too late in the season where you live to find flowers for pressing or drying, so the best you can do is pretty leaves? Well, given that it is fall, we’d say that’s not such a bad thing! There are hundreds of lovely projects you can make with dried fall leaves, but one of our favourites has always been this printed poem idea from 5 Minutes for Mom. Their tutorial suggests surrounding the words to your favourite autumn prose with some dried leaves in different shapes, sizes, and colours and framing the whole piece.

4. Dried fall flower letters

VIEW IN GALLERY

Now, we do understand that this particular photo shows a project that has been made with faux flowers made of silk, rather than dried ones, but we’re pleased to tell you that we actually reimagined this project as being a dried flower one and it worked like a charm! We were fortunate enough to have a large garden hanging onto its last days by the time our inspiration struck us, so we saved as many blossoms as we could, dried them properly, and followed Raddest Mom‘s tutorial beyond the flower type to make this beautifully embellished monogram wall hanger happen.

5. Dried flower wooden coasters

VIEW IN GALLERY

If you’re going to make lovely, outdoor inspired art with your dried flowers to bring a little bit of colour to the room as fall rolls in, would you rather make something that’s a little bit practical as well as being decorative? In that case, we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at how The Crafted Life created these stunning homemade coasters from thin, evenly cut branch sections, using dried and pressed flower decoupage techniques to affix the flower smoothly enough on the surface that the coasters will hold a drink flat and steady.

6. Dried leaf and flower bird art

VIEW IN GALLERY

Now that we’ve talked about both dried flower and dried leaf art in one place, are you finding yourself having trouble choosing between the two because they’re both so beautiful? Well, what if we told you that there’s actually a stunning way to combine them such that you wouldn’t have to choose one or the other at all? We’d definitely suggest taking a look at the way Of Design used both dried leaves and flowers to create this fantastically beautiful mural of a bird sitting on blossoming branches. Feel free to recreate their design for your own home or take the idea and make it your own in order to create other designs using the same technique!

7. Dried flower and leaf stained glass

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you actually been scrolling through our list still hoping to come across some kind of autumn worth dried flower project that your kids can not only get in on, but perhaps actually try creating on their own? Then we’d definitely suggest taking a look at how Learn to Grow helped their little ones created this stained glass inspired art  that preserves dried flowers and leaves with some bright hues between two pieces of wax paper.

8. Dried flower and autumn wheat wreath

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you actually got quite a collection of dried flowers, leaves, and other plants that, when bundled all together, remind you of harvest season, but you’ve had trouble deciding what to make of them? Well, if you’ve never made an authentic fall wreath before, then we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at how Nouba made this fantastically beautiful door wreath very carefully, without breaking or crumbling a single delicately dried piece.

9. Painted dried flower jars

VIEW IN GALLERY

Are you actually a little bit of a beginner when it comes to DIY and crafting techniques, so you’ve been scrolling through and admiring all of the options we’ve shown you but you haven’t quite decided which ones you think you’re capable of yet? In that case, perhaps you’ve prefer something much simpler that will still help you add the delicacy of dried flowers to your fall decor! Take a look at how easily What’s Ur Home Story did it by placing branches with little dried buds on them in emptied, cleaned mason jars.

10. Dried country flower bouquet in a grater

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you actually already got the last floral bouquet you bought of the summer hung properly to dry, nice and carefully, but now you’re looking for a creative way to display the flowers that will contribute to a fall theme and your already slightly country chic and down home aesthetic? In that case, we’d absolutely encourage you to take a look at how easily The Flower Patch made this lovely side table or centre piece by tying a gingham ribbon around a cheese grater and placing their dried bouquet right in the top!

11. Dried fall flower pumpkin vase

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have we got you thinking now about different ways to make “vases” out of all kinds of fall inspired things in order to give your dried flower bouquet a home, but you’re just not sure the upcycled cheese grater idea really fits your home’s aesthetic? In that case, we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at how A Pumpkin & A Princess transformed a pumpkin into a home for their flowers instead! The steps are simple, simply cut out the top (and clear the guts out if the pumpkin is real rather than plastic), set the flowers in the hole, and arrange them until they sit precisely how you please.

12. Corn husk flowers

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you been feeling a little bit torn between using dried flowers or stretching beyond that theme and using other kinds of dried fall plants instead? Well, we have a feeling you just might find this particular tutorial outlined step by step on Creative Khadija rather intriguing indeed! Instead of just drying flowers and making things with the delicate results, their tutorial shows you how to weave flower shapes from strips of corn husks and let those dry in beautiful shapes. We actually got a little bit obsessed with this idea recently and now there’s a small collection of dried corn husk flowers dotted subtly around our house.

13. Burlap and dried flower wreath on a rustic upcycled window

VIEW IN GALLERY

Has the idea that caught your eye most effectively so far definitely been the dried autumn plant wreath, but you can’t help wishing you could think of a way to make it a bit more of a statement piece, rather than just hanging it on your door like usual? Well, if you like a rustic chic aesthetic and you’re willing to commit space to quite a decently sized piece, we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at how Craftberry Bush upcycled a stylishly weathered vintage window frame and mounted their wreath their instead!

14. Dried bouquets on a rustic board hanger

VIEW IN GALLERY

Have you actually been looking at that bouquet we were referring to earlier on our list that you’ve actually already hung to dry with then intention of turning it into something else, but you’re looking at it now and thinking about just how pretty it already is, simply hanging there to dry like that? Well, it sounds to us like you just might be the perfect person to give this fantastic multi-bouquet hanger idea featured step by step on Home Dec a try! We love that they used flowers of all different kinds.

Just because you’re crafting with ribbons and using the standard techniques for that doesn’t mean slippery silk ribbons are the only kind you can use!

In that case, we’d absolutely encourage you to take a look at the way PaperMade created this lovely, multi-layered gift bow from paper!

In that case, we think perhaps you might get a kick out of the way Living Well Mom used ribbon wrapping techniques, cut shapes, and rhinestones to create a neat, novelty flower pen that will brighten up any afternoon at work! We love the idea of displaying these in a little case filled with marbles so they actually look like flowers sitting on the desk until you pull one out to use it.

Are you quite enamoured with the idea of making wall or door mounted felt succulent art but you’re not sure a classically styled wreath really speaks to the rest of your interior decor scheme?

We love the way fLOhRA Design gathered several felt succulents into bunches and mounted them onto stained wooden circles.

6. Felt succulent and flower bouquet

VIEW IN GALLERY

Okay, we acknowledge that this particular bouquet actually contains silk flowers and not felt ones, but there are, in fact, felt leaves in the mix and we actually made a felt bouquet of our own based of The DIY Mommy‘s tutorial. In our version, however, we added a few different styles, shapes, and sizes of succulents in amongst the flowers to give it a more earthy aesthetic. When we followed these steps to make our own flowers using felt instead of silk, however, they turned out even more beautiful than you see here!

7. Vertical felt succulent garden

10. Modern felt succulent hoop wreath

Then look no further! We absolutely adore this golden hoop and scalloped ribbon wreath and the way Sarah Hearts embellished that with succulents in an asymmetrical way.

11. Artichoke style felt succulents

If possible, are you actually looking to go even smaller with your felt succulent planter than what we’ve already shown you because you’d really like to keep it on the corner of your desk at work in order to brighten the place up a little bit with greenery but without taking on a real plant that would be more high maintenance?

Beyond Spring: 15 Flower Arrangements That Will Inspire Your Own DIY Bouquets

Buying flowers for your family and friends is a great way to celebrate a special occasion, or even just to make them feel special on a normal day. Sometimes it’s just nice to have flowers around the house for yourself!

3. Teapot flowers

VIEW IN GALLERYRefreshing Teapot flowers

Rather than using a traditional vase to hold your flowers, why not make things look a little more vintage? Placing your blossoms in a teapot is one of the easiest ways to get that look! We love these little yellow flowers in a stark white teapot on Pinterest.

4. Glass bottles and scrapbooking paper

VIEW IN GALLERYGlass bottles and scrapbooking paper

Sometimes the vase is just as cute as the flowers, especially if you make it yourself! Find a clean, empty glass bottle that fits a few stems through the opening and neck. Before you put the flowers in, cut a strip of pretty patterned scrapbooking paper and tape it in place with washi tape. Tie it around the middle with a piece of jute string or twine for detail and pop your blossoms in the top. Check out how Decor 8 made these pretty little bottles!

5. Rainbow water and white flowers

6. Foam ball flowers

We didn’t realize until we saw this arrangement on Pinterest how pretty it can look to have no vase or container at all! Instead, try sticking the end of each stem into a foam sphere from the craft store so you create a small floral dome that’ll look perfect in the centre of your dinner table!

7. Citrus vase

If you’ve chosen flowers with very stiff stems then all you need is a ribbon and a wide glass to make this adorable standing arrangement.

9. Cocktail flower

Whether you’re getting ready for a summer wedding, planning your looks for your next music festival in the sun, or you’re just really in love with the style, flower crowns are a gorgeous trend. Because they’re hot right now you can find them in most accessory stores, but you already know we’re big fans of making things ourselves!

If you’re looking for a slightly more unconventional flower crown, this one’s for you! Simple white blossoms make it look whimsical and feminine, but the larger incorporation of green ivy sets this style apart form other ones and makes it look more understated and natural.

Speaking of understated but gorgeous looks, this style that incorporates tiny blossoms and baby’s breath makes a different kind of flower crown all together. Instead of gluing or wiring flowers to a hairband, use a braid as the “crown” and work the flowers and sprigs directly into the hair.

5. Loose baby’s breath

Do you love the way that the baby’s breath in the previous picture looks so much that you wish for more? Instead of using it as solely an accent flower in your flower crown, try making it the centre of attention!

6. Thistles with white blossoms

VIEW IN GALLERYGreens with few blossoms

Here’s another one for your unconventional flower crown category! Making it with thistles gives a stronger, less whimsical look but adding a few white blossoms among the purple blooms keeps things soft enough for a wedding or special event.

7. Silk butterfly crown

Okay, so technically this look isn’t a flower crown, but it reminded us so much of the same whimsical looks that flower crowns often achieve. Shake things up a bit by building a crown out of material or silk butterflies the way you’d normally use flowers.

8. Blossoms and lace

If you’re creating a flower crown specifically for a wedding, then one of the best ways of incorporating it into the look is to match it with the bouquet. The balance between the two bunches of flowers looks absolutely beautiful in pictures!

10. Flower crown tucked under

Just because it’s called a flower “crown” doesn’t mean you have to wear it like a tiara! Try nestling your blossoms underneath your updo so the bun rests lightly on top of them instead. The look is unique but still classic enough for timeless pictures.

11. Blossoms with herbs

Many flowers together can be a little overwhelming looking, especially if you have slight features. In order to get that same volume in your crown without letting it take over your look, consider weaving in some herb plants instead of big floral leaves.

12. Cascading flowers

Why not consider some pretty asymmetry in your look? Letting a few flowers hang down on one sides looks beautiful, especially with some more voluminous gathered blossoms to balance the look out on the other side.

A simple ring of pink cherry blossoms is the perfect look for a summer music festival. It’s pretty, but it’s low maintenance and easy to make. It also won’t distract from the outfit you’ve put together!

If your motto is “go big or go home”, then you might be looking for a little something more than simple flowers. Adding berries to a huge blossom is a great way to mix colours and draw the eye to your face.

Wonderful DIY Pumpkin Seed Flower Decoration

VIEW IN GALLERYPumpkin-Seed-Flower-Christmas-Ornament-WONDERFUL DIY F

These pumpkin seed flowers are cute and beautiful, they are nice home decoration . I have never know about making a flower using pumpkin seeds , this is a very creative idea, and it’s very simple .
For making pumpkin seed flowers, first cut discs of card sheet, then glue the pumpkin seeds in concentric circles with the help of a hot glue gun , don’t forget to leave a circle empty in the center for the seeds to come. Then spread some hot glue over the center and quickly put peppercorns in mixed colors over it and wait for it dried ( I would like to put a family picture in the center ) . You can make a loop of ribbon and hot glue it to the back of the flower for hanging. That’s all ! Be sure make as many as you like and hang them on your wreath or garland. Enjoy ~~

Twine is a wonderfully versatile craft material that you can use to hang mobiles, string ornaments, wrap vases and bottles, tie packages, make banners, and form pompoms – and these are just a few of its countless uses.
If you already own a Bow and flower maker tool, then you probably already tried making twine flowers. But in fact, for these little cuties, you don’t really need a special tool.
Making twine flowers is something you can do with older children, those who are already quite dexterous and able to sit down for long periods. If you think the process may be too tedious for the kiddos, set up the cardboard-and-pin guides beforehand and immediately engage them in looping the twine.
Use these twine flowers as gift or loot bag toppers, greeting card accents, scrapbook embellishments, and party decor. Make several to form wreaths, table arrangements, and wall art. The possibilities are endless!

Materials you will need :
Twine (jute or cotton)
Cardboard (you can also use old boxes, illustration board, Styrofoam, etc.)
Multicolor pins
Scissors
Ruler
Pencil
Craft needle
Glue
String (you can also use ribbon, cord, a strip of fabric, etc.)
