DIY Flower Balls


This was another wedding DIY project.  We've decided to hang them from the large tree that will be over the reception area. 


You will need styrofoam balls, fake flowers, wire cutters, and some sort of wide ribbon.  We bought all of our supplies at our local Michaels.  


Cut the stems of the flowers, leaving about 3-4 inches.  Then stick the stems into the styrofoam, randomly arranging the flowers but making sure the cover all of ball so that none of the styrofoam is visible.


You should end up with something like this.  We found that it took a lot more flowers than we thought it would, so make sure to buy extra!


Take your wide ribbon and make a loop large enough to hang, then pin the ends into the styrofoam.  Have fun experimenting with different sizes and colors of flowers.
