Mothers are special to us all, so this coming Mother’s Day, why not make something special for her? With some faux flowers and greenery, you can easily make your mom a one-of-a-kind gift that she is sure to love. Read on to find out how to make this DIY Mother’s Day gift idea with artificial flowers!
What You’ll Need:
- Galvanized Tin Wall Hanger: I got mine at Hobby Lobby
- Floral foam
- Artificial flowers in Mom’s favorite colors. If you need help finding quality floral supplies, you may enjoy reading this blog post about some of my favorite vendors.
- Artificial greenery: I like to mix textures. I added a seed spray to mine as well.
- Hot glue: I only use Gorilla glue and liquid Gorilla glue
- Spanish Moss
Step By Step Instructions
- Assemble Supplies
- Add floral foam to the container. I add a generous amount of liquid glue first (strong, but slow to dry). Then add a generous amount of hot glue (quick drying) to secure the foam so I can add florals and greenery. Cover with a small amount of Spanish moss. The foam does not need to be completely covered. You can add more later if you can still see it at the end.
- Add a few greens to the foam to establish your line. I like to have some spilling over the sides like in nature and it helps to incorporate the container into the design.
- Add florals. Take care to vary the height and direction of the floral heads.
- Finish with more greenery, filling holes as needed.
