DIY Whimsical Floral Tutorial
I love playing with flowers and I love having them around my home. The texture, color and life they bring to a blank corner or tabletop is like none other. You absolutely do not have to be a professional to create a life-giving arrangement and I’m going to show you today how to do it with items you can easily find at the store.
My love for flowers began as a child picking yellow primroses out of my Mema’s garden. I loved snipping them from the earth and bunching them in a perfectly textured dome of yellow. I would carry them with me across the lawn, imagining walking down the aisle at my wedding and bring them inside to her, to pop them in a perfect milk glass vase. Today, my arrangements have the same origin…a desire to connect with the earth, create with love and to make something that brings automatic joy to to anyone around.
I’ve realized over time that flowers have a magic unlike anything else and something happens in me when I get to pull out my floral snips, turn on some music and create. I want others to be able to share in this same joy and encourage you to give it a try. So, I have created a video tutorial for you to be able to join in on the fun too. Hop on over to my first ever YouTube video and get to creating! I hope you enjoy as much as I do!
Supply List
Floral Snips - I love these and they are super reasonable!
Vessel - The one I’m using in the video is a beautiful ceramic bowl from Reed + Embry. It is about a 5” circumference and 3” tall.
Chicken Wire - easily found at the craft store, a farm store or here
A bucket with water
Flowers - For this arrangement, I sourced all of my flowers from Trader Joes. I love sourcing from local farmers in the growing season but TJ’s is a great option that has blooms at any time of year and are super cost effective.
