My favorite Saturday morning ritual is visiting the farmer’s market to pick up bunches of wildflowers. The bright colors are a cheery way to start day! I’ve been wanting to learn more about flower arranging, so I started a Pinterest board … and the next thing I knew I had wasted 2 hours going down the rabbit hole of flower related crafts. You guys seemed to like the 25 Hair DIYs so here are 25 (plus a few bonus!) flower projects to add to your to do list.

Thanks Tara! Which was your favorite? I just make some cupcake liner flowers today!
the giant flowers are so my fav!
Oh Steph! You just mentioned to me before I would find loads of inspiration on the net for my wedding and here are three ideas I love right here! Was thinking how beautiful those peonies would look as napkin rings to start with. Gorgeous. Not sure about the giant flower though, but those girls in the pic look amazing with them. Thanks for the inspiration!
You don’t want giant flowers?! :) But you’re right, those peonies would be gorgeous
Fantastic round up! And I love the new site – where have I been?!?
I am just a wee bit addicted to site design (and apparently bright colors too!). Are you on the final countdown now for baby #3?
I want to try to make that clay petal vase – how gorgeous!
I’m always amazed at the cool things people do with clay – I would never have thought of that!
LOVE them all! Especially love the lollipops!
XOXO

I love edible flowers – I’ve eaten them before in salads but never in a lollipop!
Hey Steph! Your timing couldn’t be more perfect. After having a good browse around the stores and seeing the ridiculous amount of money they want for flower jewellry, I’m in the mood for making some and was going to go hunting for inspiration. You’ve done the hard work for me!

Glad I could help, Anne! Have fun DIYing – can’t wait to see what you create :)
