    Looking for glass cloche decorating ideas? See how you can make a beautiful and long-lasting dried flower arrangement under a cloche.

    Glass cloche decorating ideas with a dried flower arrangement.

    Glass cloches are glass domes that were originally used as mini greenhouses to protect seedlings and small plants. Today we often use them as part of our home decor. I picked this one up at a craft store but you can often find them at antique, vintage,  or thrift stores too.

    They are sometimes referred to as glass bell jars as they are shaped like a bell. You can use them as part of your seasonal decor, or fill the bottom with collections you find on vacation. However, today I'm going to create a dried flower arrangement that can be used all year long.

    Supplies including a glass cloche, floral foam, saucers with flower frogs and a bunch of dried flowers.

    How to Create a Dried Flower Arrangement Under a Cloche

    Supplies

    • Glass Cloche
    • Dried flowers
    • Dry Floral foam or flower frogs
    • Small plant saucers or a small dish
    • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
    • Scissors
    Two flower pot sauces with metal floral frogs.

    These metal flower frogs would be great for this project but are not a must.

    A flower pot saucer with floral foam.

    Instead, you can easily cut some floral foam and hot glue it to your saucer or dish.

    Start by testing a tall flower to get a feel for the height under the cloche.

    Then add a few taller flowers and stems in the middle of the foam. Vary colors and textures.

    Next, start building the midsection with larger flowers. You can even add one or two towards the bottom like the zinnia shown above.

    Finish by filling in with smaller pieces. Don't forget to turn the base around to check out all sides. Also, test the arrangement's fit by placing the cloche on top as you go.

    Where Can I Get Dried Flowers?

    • There are some sources on the internet that sell dried flowers. However, most are pretty pricey.
    • Crafts stores sell some dried flowers but their inventory is small.
    • Dry your own. Cut some from the garden or buy fresh at the market and hang them in a cool dark place to dry. Some may be ready in a week or two.
    • Consider using artificial flowers

    When you are finished with the dried flower arrangement cover it with the cloche and set your masterpiece on a table top as part of a vignette with candles or alone and enjoy.
