How to Make an Upcycled Floral Wall Hanging
I received the prettiest early Mother’s Day floral bouquet from 1-800 Flowers, and wanted to incorporate a few stems into a DIY project. I decided to make an easy DIY upcycled floral wall hanging.
A couple of years ago I took some plastic water bottles and some paint and upcycled them into some DIY painted water bottle vases for a TV segment. Since then, they’ve sat on a shelf in our toddler’s room, and today we decided to reuse a couple of them.
+ 3 empty water bottles in varying styles
+ String
+ Scissors
+ 5-6 Flower stems
+ Stick (spray painted gold if you wish)
+ Masking tape
+ Acrylic Paint and brush
+ Gold foil tape (not pictured)
Next, I taped off the bottom of the non-painted water bottle, and Vivienne got to work painting.
Then I touched up the paint on the already painted bottles.
Time to attach the bottles to the stick with string. I tried the twine (originally pictured), but decided it was too rustic looking, so I used my trusty gold and cream string instead. I cut four 10-12″ strings, and tied one to each neck of the water bottle.
Now take the stick and tied each string to it leaving the water bottles at varying lengths, then trimming off the excess. I used the remaining string to create a simple hanger at the top.
Oh, and I then decided that it would also look really cute hung on our front door with a wreath hanger. I love the pops of color against our turquoise door!

the little painter's pudgy toes are priceless.
