Artwork with Dried Flowers
Here's an easy tutorial that will show you how to take dried flowers and create a beautiful piece of artwork with a standard picture frame.
Yield: 1
Cost: $5
Equipment
- 1 Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Materials
- Picture frame
- Various dried flowers & foliage such as ferns and leaves.
Instructions
- Gather dried flowers and foliage that work together.
- Flip the picture that comes with the frame to the white side or use a piece of white paper instead.
- Begin arranging the flowers on the frame to get an idea of what you like.
- Start in the middle and use a hot glue gun to glue some of the middle background pieces onto the front of the frame glass. (I used leaves)
- Next use some of your larger pieces and glue them on top of the background.
- Continue adding some filler and other groups of flowers or leaves around the middle.
- Set the frame upright to get a look at different angles.
- Finish by gluing smaller pieces in to fill any open spots.
- Hang it on the wall or set on a table as part of a vignette.
Notes
Use flowers from wedding bouquets or that special gift to make wonderful flower wall art.
Buy some flowers at the store and hang them in the basement until they dry.
Use an old frame or one from a thrift store.
Use an aerosol hairspray or some polyurethane spray to protect your flowers if you like. However, be careful when spraying. Use a light hand and don't get too close to the plant material.
