I already had a vision of what I wanted my completed DIY to look like, which saved me a lot of time and money. I would advise doing this too as it will help you to stay motivated when completing the project.
The pricest thing I purchased was the flowers, which cost around £10 for the roses and £4 for the foliage. Granted, the flowers are a little on the pricey side, but they need to look real, so I had to spend a little more than I had first hoped. :(
I chose mine to be all one colour as it matches my room scheme, but you could do a mix of colours, create an ombre effect or even spell out names and initials.
This is super easy, has only 5 steps and would make a great birthday, wedding or Mother's day gift!
Make it your own and be creative!
Things you will need to recreate this:
- Fake roses- Must be good quality
- A box
- Dry flower oasis
- Superglue
- Wire cutters
- Ribbon
- Spray paint
- Green foliage - optional
Step 1:
Take the box and work out where your oasis will fit, this must fit securely in the box so that the roses have something to support them.
Step 2:
Take the oasis back out and spray paint the box making sure you're a good distance away. Leave to dry overnight.
Step 3:
After the box has dried put the oasis back in and cut the flowers down to the length you need.
I suggest cutting one first and using it as a test to make sure that the rose sits correctly before chopping them all down. The rose head should be level with the side of the box.
Step 4:
Once you've trimmed the roses start from the outside edges and work in a spiral motion until you reach the middle.
Step 5:
Cut the ribbon and tie in a knot around the box. I added in some green foliage to contrast against the roses, but you could leave this out.
