How to Make a Simple Sunflower Arrangement

First, we needed to make a few adjustment to the case before we started placing our sunflowers in the arrangement.

Since this is a vintage cosmetic case, there is a mirror on the inside of the lid.

So first, we cut a piece of cardboard from an old box to fit snugly inside the lid.

Then, we wrapped it with a little leftover upholstery fabric from Ellie’s Daybed transformation.

Finally, we pushed the fabric covered cardboard piece into the lid.

Because it fit so snugly, there is no need to secure it with adhesive.

Then if we want to use the train case for another project, we can easily remove it.

Just one more thing, we added plastic shopping bags to the bottom of the case.

This will allow the styrofoam to sit a little higher in the case.

Last but not least, we covered the styrofoam with moss.

When making a flower arrangement we like to begin with the main flower first.

In this particular arrangement that would be the sunflowers.

Our sunflowers came as a bush, so first we cut each stem from the main piece.

Then you can begin placing the sunflowers in the container at varying heights.

Pro tip: Use you finger to make a small opening in the moss. This allows the flower stem to be placed into the styrofoam easily.

Additionally, when creating any flower arrangement you want to have your thriller (main flower) and fillers.

I think placing the wild grasses not only add height to the sunflower arrangement, but I also love the texture too.

Once again, look around you and see what you come up with for some height in your arrangement.

The final filler we are adding to this arrangement is mini pumpkins.

Once again, look in your stash of fall decor.

That’s exactly what we did!

Last year Steph had painted these mini pumpkins to match her decor.

Don’t you think they are the perfect filler in this sunflower arrangement for fall?

We alternated the colors as we placed the pumpkins around the sunflowers.

Last but not least, we placed a few of the remaining sunflower leaves under some of the pumpkins.

Without a doubt, this fall decor makes me smile!

Don’t you think the sunny yellow flowers just put a smile on your face.

Not to mention that the pop of yellow looks so good with the navy blue in Steph’s Fall home decor.

We hope you’ve been inspired to create your own sunflower arrangement for your home.
