Dried flower decorative elements are nowadays found quite often, both at homes and offices. You can make at your home and give your creative bent a chance. If you enjoy making different types of wall hangings at home and decorate your own house as you wish, just try making a dry flower wall hanging.
You can have fun making such wall hangings. Moreover, if children are at home, you can
Make them try their hands in a bit of creativity. Before making a nice wall hanging, you need to keep a few things handy.
v Take a bowl made of plastic or paper that can easily be cut with the help of a pair of scissors.
v Florist’s Foam
v 2 pieces of stiff and very thick cardboards (the boards must be of the size you you’re your wall hanging to be).
v Adhesive for sticking foam, plastic or paper bowl and cardboard
v Dried flowers
v Colors for the wall hanging
v Fishing line or string for hanging the piece of art
After collecting all the necessary things for making the wall hanging, cut the paper bowl into two halves. Before going for the entire work, it is preferable to think of a structure of the wall hanging you want to make. Decide the shape of the dried flower wall hanging. It is better to cut the card board in a size that is larger than the half bowl. Otherwise the frame cannot be placed properly.
Cut the desired shape of your wall hanging from both the card boards. One will create the frame for the wall hanging and the other will be used to give the hanging a stiff and strong base. Cut both sheets of cardboard into the shape of your chosen frame
Make two holes to at the backside of the cardboard placed at the back of the wall hanging. This way the whole s cannot be seen from the front. Run the string through the two holes at the back of the wall hanging.
If your wall hanging is made of paper bowl, then it will be a good idea to paint that with different colors, to make it look brighter. In case, you are making the wall hanging with plastic bowl, then stick papers on the plastic bowl and make drawings on it. After that, just add the color of your imagination to it.
Put the florists foam inside the flower basket and then glue it to the bowl. Place the flowers inside the bowl and make sure that the heads of flowers peep out of the basket. Fix the base of flowers properly into the foam. As you are done and all the adhesives get dried, hang the flower wall hanging on the wall at your house.
