Wood Box Rustic Floral Arrangement Tutorial

So what do you do with an old wooden bit box found at a flea market???  Well, the answer is very simple for those of us that love all things vintage and worn...  We display flowers of course.  

And luckily, I scored big on my trip to my local grocery store yesterday. Our flower vendor had the most spectacular roses in stock.  I couldn't believe how gorgeous they were.  Two tone roses in the most delicate soft shades of pink and fuchsia.  I knew these roses were meant for me!!!  I grab two bunches and practically ran home to snap a few shots of them and arrange them to showcase their timeless beauty.

So today, I am sharing a tutorial on how I made this rustic centerpiece...  The best part of this tutorial, is that there are no fancy materials needed.  The only items required are the flowers, a few glass tumblers, water and floral shears or scissors.  And in less than 10 minutes, you will have a spectacular centerpiece that will rival any one that you may purchase at a Florist. 






The roses are so stunning that they will look just as beautiful in any container that you use.   For me, it was all about creating a unique and rustic display for these beauties. So this vintage wooden box came to mind.   A recent purchase from a flea market for about $10.00.  And I must admit, I am totally crushing over this gorgeous centerpiece.






Can you imagine this sweet arrangement dressing a table at a rustic/barn themed wedding??  How romantic....  These old wooden boxes are easily available and very affordable.  It is an unexpected take on a centerpiece that will add beauty and charm to your home.  For a more permanent display, you can use artificial flowers. Some Faux flowers can look incredibly real these days so experiment.  Try something new...  "See tutorial below."




Materials Needed





Here is how I  made the centerpiece:


Step One:  Find wood box or similar container



Step two:  Find glass tumblers that fit inside of the box or container. 
                 My box required four.




Step three:   Fill glass tumblers with water




Step Four:  Place glass tumblers inside of the box or container




Step Five:  Begin arranging the flowers until the entire top is covered with the
                  roses.  Be sure that all the stems are placed in the glass filled with 
                  the water.


Tip: Do not forget to remove the leaves at the bottom of the stems.  You do not        want bacteria to grow in the water.  It will kill your roses quickly.






This is what your arrangement should look like when done.




I also tucked in a few stems of white freesia for softness and texture but you do not need to use it on yours.






What do you think?  Will you be giving this a try?


Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you are a little inspired by my tutorial today.



Have fun creating....


Janet

9 Steps for Hosting The Ultimate Spring Birthday Tea Party

Hi friends - I've missed you all.  Things are rapidly changing for us all.  Many of us are working from home these days, stopped gathering with family and weekend outings are basically trips to the supermarket to restock.  It's the least that we can do to help stop the spreading of this horrific virus that is changing the world as we know it.  That being said, I am so glad that I got to spend time with family and friends two weeks ago when we all came together for the celebration of my Goddaughter Daniella's birthday.  We had a blast and the memories made are ones that will live in my heart forever.     My sincerest thank you to everyone that helped me put this beautiful event together.  Especially my cousin, Jennifer of Having Fun Craft s, for making all the gorgeous place cards and backdrops.  They were a beautiful addition to the overall decor.  A big thank you and hug to my niece Ericka for flying in from Florida to help me put it all together and to the amazi

A Country Christmas Tablescape

Until this Christmas, I had no idea that I was going to be having a little obsession with vintage trucks. Specifically, red pickup trucks.  Me, the girl that loves to decorate with delicate flowers and romantic fabrics.  Hard to believe but it is true!!!  And decorating with vintage cars is seems to be having a moment..  They are everywhere!! So today, I am happy to share one of my most pinned and shared tablescapes.  It is my Country/Farm house themed Christmas table which showcases my latest find. You guess it!  A red pickup truck.  It was just too adorable to pass up.  I didn't know what use it would have in my decor when I first brought it home but it quickly became the inspiration for all of our Christmas decorating the last two holiday seasons. Such a fun piece to own with a great vintage vibe too.   My whimsical table begins with a distressed wood charger in antique white, topped with simple white plates and Pier 1 Imports Glad Tidings Porcelain Salad plates.  I al
