DIY Wedding – Paper Flowers 2:wired flowers

These little wired flowers add a touch of whimsy to any floral arrangement… paper or otherwise! I created them in white to coordinate with our overall theme, but they can easily be created to match any color scheme.

For each flower, you will need…

  • 1 piece of 24 gauge floral wire (we chose white wrapped, but you could also use unwrapped, green, or brown)
  • 2 flower die cuts* (these were cut using the eclips)
  • hot glue gun
  • 2″ piece of bamboo skewer (this is a great way to use the trimmed pieces from the other flowers)

 

1. Fold the floral wire in half, about 1/2″ from the end of the bent tip - twist the other onto the end of the skewer.

2. Dip the tip into the hot glue and pick up a little blog.

3. Sandwich the glue blob between two flowers. Hold in place until set.

4. When adding into your arrangement, allow the flower to hang past the rest of the flowers… it will give the bouquet added style and movement.

GIVEAWAY! Leave a comment and one lucky winner will receive a paper flower kit. It includes everything you need to create a finished centerpiece. Not only cute for a wedding, but great for spring time decor. Modern in plain white, or perfect for spritzing with your favorite sprays. Winner announced later this week. See you tomorrow!
