Creative Air Plant Display Idea DIY
I came up with this creative air plant display idea – DIY project, when I found myself with so many air plants that they needed to be transformed into a dramatic tabletop centerpiece.
This display began when a beautiful walnut cutting board cracked, after many years of use. I couldn’t just leave it in a corner and not use the wood for creating something new. Have you had anything that you just can’t let go of
This is one of mine!
I thought I should cut the wood in different size pieces and create a layered look to display air plant.
You can create this look with any scrap of wood you have in your home.
What will you Need?
- Get creative and find unique pieces around your home!
- Different types of air plants; different colors, textures and heights.
- Fresh herbs from your garden.
- A piece that is a vintage or meaningful item.
- Feathers
- Wood Blocks
- Tea Candles with clear cup
- Jar with different textures and colors to add a vintage look.
I found the tray on amazon and loved the different jars. That is when I decided to take it to the next level.

What to place the Air plants in for a creative look
The most important thing when you do a creative air plant display is to use different textures and glass sizes to bring together the story. I found this Amazon decor piece and realized that the glasses had a vintage feel and I transformed the look to be a creative air plant display.
The best thing is, no water needed!
This fact really makes for allowing for creative ways to display air plants.
I just love this about them. So much you can do with air plants!

How to Frame an Air Plant Display.
There are a few important things that I followed for a creative air plant display:
- Anchor your display with taller air plants at the ends. Feathers are also a great addition.
- Use candle light to highlight the dramatic shapes and soften them against the wood.
- Introduce your favorite herb to soften the linear shapes.
An Air plant Display can be as unique as you Dream of.
How to bring it all together your Display
A creative air plant display does not need to be complicated. You can achieve this by bringing the pieces you love the most and anchoring them on a raised surface to contain them and frame the look.
Now that you have the tools, go create an amazing display with your favorite air plants! I use air plants in so many ways, but I think a table centerpiece is my favorite creative air plant display. Tell me how you plan to display yours! Remember that this is an opportunity to incorporate pieces that have a story and create what you love most, an opportunity to tell a story.

Air plants need to be misted every so often and need filtered sun or artificial light.
