We don't know about you but as soon as spring arrives, we are always thinking of creative ways we can brighten up our home interiors. Colourful long-lasting dried flowers is the perfect way to welcome spring into your home. Whilst they look great in a beautiful vase, we wanted an alternative way to display our dried flowers so we decided to create our own DIY Wooden Dried Flower Stands.
These pretty Dried Flower Stands look wonderful as a table centrepiece, placed on a shelf or window for your neighbours to swoon over as they pass by. They even make for a beautiful handmade gift that your loved one can enjoy for a long time. It's such a simple but effective DIY.
Why not give it a go in time for Easter and wow your guests by creating a simple yet modern centrepiece for your Easter tablescape?
Follow our 3 easy steps to create this beautiful springtime display.
Easter tablescape including two DIY Wooden Dried Flower Stands
Materials We Used
- Leftover wooden blocks. We had a few spare pieces of wood on the farm. They can be of any size it's entirely up to you how big you want your stand to be.
- A power drill
- A Ruler
- A Pencil
- A Selection of Dried Flowers - You don't need a lot of dried flowers so you could easily purchase one of our Dried Flower Bouquets to get a good variety and then have enough left over for a flower display as well as the dried flower stand. Or you may want to select a few of our dried flower bunches in order to work with the colour scheme you have in mind.
Step 1 - Measure the Stand Holes
Take your ruler and decide how many holes you want and how far apart you would like them to be, once you have decided mark the holes with a pencil. There is no right or wrong way to do this, it is only a rough guide for you when it comes to drilling.
You can drill one single line of holes along the middle of the block or create two lines, like how we have done in step 2.
Step 2 - Drill the Stand Holes
Select your smallest drill bit then take your drill and carefully drill the pencil marks you have made. Be really careful not to drill the whole way through, it's best to keep the holes smaller (that's why we advise to use a small drill bit) so that the flowers will stay up straight.
We drilled 19 holes altogether, as you will see from the image, we placed 10 holes along the back and 9 along the front and kept them roughly 2.5cm apart.
Give the block a little shake to ensure there is no dust inside the holes.
Step 3 - Arrange your Dried Flowers
Cut and arrange flowers in the order you will use them, we went for tall stems of Lagurus, Nigella Pods and Midnight Bloom Delphiniums at the back of the display for effectiveness and then smaller stems at the front, we cut down our White Statice and Lavender to create volume.
You can have them at varying heights, there is no correct format. Allow yourself time to enjoy this process, ensure you're listening to your favourite music and sipping a delightful beverage.
Top Tip: To create visual interest add stems of varying heights, colours and textures, don't keep them all the same.
Now do you keep your gorgeous little masterpiece for your spring decor or gift it? We will not judge if you decide to keep it for yourself - we couldn't part with ours.
