Fall Dress Up

by Terrie aka Hot Glue In My Coffee

You don’t have to be a floral designer extraordinaire to put this together but you’ll look like one when you’re finished. Just a few odds and ends put together properly can enhance and give it a whole new look.
This was created for Fall however think outside the box for a moment… Think Christmas. A little faux pine, holly, berries, a piece of ribbon and you can achieve the same look for a special Christmas ornament, nut cracker, figurine… Easter with a ceramic bunny and eggs, the only limit is our imagination. :)

fall dress up, crafts, seasonal holiday decor

Supplies:

Felt

Cardboard

Silk leaves, flowers and berries

Hot glue

Tools:

Scissors

Hot glue gun

Wire cutters

Step 1

Cut, cut, cut…

-Cut a piece of cardboard into a circle or square to make the base

-Cut a piece of foam just slightly larger than the piece of cardboard

-Cut up a floral garland, bush or stems

Step 2

Work in triangles…

-Apply glue to the underside of the leaves

-Place them on the base in a triangle pattern

Step 3

C’mon… you can do this…

-Add a different type of foliage or flower to the base, I used a plastic eucalyptus … I know… plastic, BUT they look so realistic!

-Place these between the leaves. If you don’t feel comfortable to making a commitment, place them first and then hot glue them when you’re happy with where they are

-Glue the stems to the base and hold it in place until the hot glue sets, if necessary.
