Hanging Dried Flower Line DIY

One of my favorite decorating elements that I use in my home are flowers. I cannot get enough of fresh cut flowers in vases, and I love the romatic, elegant look that dried flowers bring into a space. This fall I wanted to make sure to capture the beauty in my garden for the upcoming winter and decided to do a simple wall DIY decoration. I kept it as simple and inexpensive as possible, and the nice thing about this project is that you can taylor it to your own house so easily. For example, I used some leftover yarn I had to hang the flowers on, but you can use jute twine or ribbon instead. You can also make the piece more permanent by putting small nails or decorative hooks in the wall instead of using command hooks.

Materials:

2 small command hooks (or nails or decorative hooks)

String of your choice

Fresh (or dried) flowers, below are some good options:

-Roses -Purple oregano flowers -Baby's breath

-Carnations -Straw flowers -Zinnia

-Sage -Eucalyptus

Scissors

This project will take about 30 min.

To begin, wipe the walls down with a slightly damp towel to clean the spots you plan to put the command strips. The string will extend between the two command hooks, so make sure you are measuring from the ceiling to each hook before attaching to the wall to make sure the hooks are level. Attach the command hooks as instructed on the box.

Take your preferred string and loop around one hook and bring back around the second hook to tie off. You are making one big loop stretched between the two hooks so it can easily be taken on and off to add or remove flowers. Cut off any excess string.

Tie together your fresh or dried flowers in bunches and tie a loop at the top of the string so you can hang the flowers on the string between the two hooks. Once you slide your flowers onto the string, it may sag a bit due to the weight of the flowers (especially if you are using yarn). You can keep it like this if you like that look, or you can pull the string taught and tie another knot to make it less of a dip.

I hung calendula, zinnia, sage, black-eyed susan, purple oregano flowers, and roses

And there you go! This is a fun, quick DIY that will bring color and summer sunshine into your home year-round. If the flowers need refreshing the next year, simply replace them with new flowers from the new season. I love this simple yet dynamic decor in my farmhouse.
