Simple Garden Theme Decor DIY

Spring has sprung, and it’s time to pull out your garden-themed decor! Whether you’re decorating your porch or looking for ideas for a special party, garden themed decor is perfectly on time. Today I’m going to share a super Simple Garden Theme Decor DIY you can add to any of your garden-themed decorating!

Here's what you need:

• Seed starter recycled containers, or you could use recycled egg cartons
• sheet moss
• stones/pebbles
• snips of faux flowers/herbs
• hot melt glue gun

First, Add Weight to Your Floral Arrangement

This idea came from something I saw in a cute shop recently. But when I picked it up, it felt cheap. Weight=Value. Whenever I create a floral arrangement, I always hide some weight in the bottom. A baggie of sand or some cheap rocks is all it takes. The difference when you pick it up is huge!

Floral arranging tip: Add weight to your arrangements.

If your recycled compartments have holes, put tape over them. Then hot glue pebbles to the bottom of each spot. You don’t need much; a couple rocks will be fine.

Next, fill Compartments with Moss.

Using a hot melt glue gun, fill compartments with sheet moss, 3/4 full.

Then add Snips of Faux Flowers

Simply hot glue snippets of flowers into the middle of each compartment. You could also use herbs. Use a wood skewer to hold down stems while glue is drying. Add a little more moss on top to cover glue blobs.

This project is a great way to use up scraps from other floral projects. At a floral design workshop I went to years ago, they said if you could make money from the scraps on the floor, you were smart! Whether you sell or not, this project takes something ho-hum and turns it into something pretty.

Add a Final Garden Theme Accent to Your Arrangement

Tie and glue a couple strands of raffia or twine around your arrangement as a final textural touch. Add a little bit of glue at the corners to keep it in place. I did one of each, but think I like the wilder raffia look better.

Last but not least, finish any of your hot glue projects with the hair dryer to get rid of all those strings.

This simple little DIY project is perfect to tuck into any garden decor, whether in a cupboard display or on the tabletop. So easy and cute!
