After posting a few Instagram's and my blog post about Donuts and Flowers I have recieved SO many questions and tutorial requests on how to make a dried flower wall. How to hang them, how to dry them, etc. I made my first dried flower wall years and years ago in high school on my bedroom wall. I would pick flowers from my mothers massive gardens as well as wildflowers when I was out on trail runs and then I would hang them up to dry (or press them in a giant dictionary). This past spring and summer, I would always get leftover flowers from weddings and photo shoots and Andrew was constantly bringing me my favorite peonies and garden roses. My desk was constantly like a garden. I started hanging the flowers up all over my room and then I realized that I should make another flower wall (I was also running out of space and had a giant wall that needed decorating). Then I moved from my apartment back to a dorm, and reassembled my wall in a slightly different way so as to not damage the wall. I realized I actually do have a lot of information to share on how to make a dried flower wall. Read on for a DIY tutorial on how to dry flowers and how to display them! How to dry and preserve flowers; -My biggest tip; remove the flowers from water before they start dying. -If a flower starts to die and turn brown while it is in water, it will start to rot and smell- definitely not something you want for your wall! -Once the flowers open up and are at peak remove them from the water, recut the stem. -Lay flat or hang to dry. Ideally, hang so it does not flatten at all. -How to choose flowers? In my ombre wall it is primarily peonies and garden roses and regular roses. However, in my wall at home it is a huge variety. Sunflowers, and babies breath all dry really well. How to hang; -(second photo + 1 above) -Around the stem of the flower, use white thread, and tie a double knotted bow, the loops will help! -Tie right below a leaf or any irregularity in the stem- this helps keeps the tie in place instead of sliding right off. -I used clear tacks on my wall and hung the loops from the tacks. -I had them hung all mismatched and as my collection grew, I organized them from dark to light to create the ombre pattern. How to hang without damaging the walls; -(first photo + 2 above) -Around the stem of the flower, use white thread, and tie a double knotted bow, the loops will help! -Tie right below a leaf or any irregularity in the stem- this helps keeps the tie in place instead of sliding right off. -In a dorm room you can't use tacks or nails, as well as in many apartments. -I put six command hooks up, three left and three right. -Tie a white string to one on the left, pull tight (so it does not sag too much with the weight of the flowers) and secure to the hook on the right. -Tie the thread on the flowers to the thread on the command hooks. -To make it not look too horizontally linear I tied the flowers and mismatched heights and hung the flowers of different lengths sporadically. And that's it! Pretty simple. My favorite way to make a space more natural and relaxed yet so sophisticated and unique. Leave any questions in the comments!
