Fancy a dried flower wall hanging?
I used to make those years ago. For this, you need
a paper bowl or plastic bowl that you can cut easily with a
pair of scissors. Florist foam 2 sheets of
very thick cardboard each the size of the frame you want
Glue that can stick to the foam and the bowl and the
cardboard. Dried flowers Paint Very
strong thick string or fishing line to hang the wall
hanging.
Now cut the bowl in half.
Plan out your frame. What shape do you want it to be?
It has to be substantially larger than that half bowl as you
need to make room for the frame.
Cut both sheets of cardboard into the shape of your chosen
frame
1 sheet would be the backing inside, the other would be just the
frame.
Make 2 holes in the backing that would be hidden behind the
frame. Tie the string through both holds on the outer side of
the backing. This will be used to hang the final dried flower
wall hanging.
For the frame, cut out the inside of the frame so you just have
the outer frame intact. Now glue the outer frame to the
backing.
Your half bowl will be the flower basket. Glue that flower
basket to the backing of the frame, with plenty of space above
the bowl for your dried flowers. Wait for the glue to set.
Glue the florist foam to the inside of your flower basket. Wait
for the glue to set.
Then arrange your dried flowers into the flower basket, securing
the flowers into the florist foam.
You're done. Hang up your dried flower wall hanging for everyone
to see.
Here is another project using dried
flowers
