Craft Ideas for Fall Floral Decor
- Warm up your home during the brisk fall months with wreaths featuring fall flowers and colors. Hot glue faux sunflowers in yellow, gold and red to a wreath. Add a gigantic bow in your favorite ribbon. If you live in the south, where fall months are warmer, use fragrant magnolia blossoms or just their leaves. Their backs are brown and give an eye-catching fall color to your wreath.
- Just because summer is over doesn't mean you can't craft some lovely floral decorations to place overhead. Use binder clips to suspend single flowers from colored ribbon tacked on to the ceiling. The blossoms hang upside down, creating a floral chandelier. Use fall flowers like chrysanthemums, gladiolas, marigolds or daisies. You can also cut the bottom of a floral foam sphere to sit flat on a cake stand, then pin dahlia blossoms--faux or fresh--over the entire surface area for a decorative ball of color.
- Give your guests a handcrafted touch at your fall dinner party or holiday celebration. Gather flowers in paper cones and tie ribbon loops to the cones, hanging a bouquet from each guest's chair with a place card tag attached. If you're short on fresh blossoms and want a rustic floral centerpiece, salvage a dead branch by gluing paper or tissue flower blossoms on the ends and then placing the creation in a mason jar, glass jug or bottle. Vintage tins also work well.
- Keep your home colorful and cheerful with fresh-cut flowers from your own garden through the fall. If you have a garden, look for an area to grow flowers with fall and even winter blossom times. Forsythia, chrysanthemums, calla lilies, birds of paradise and marigolds are all flowers that can grace your home with spots of color. Place single-stemmed blossoms in slim bottles or cut flowers with a short stem and bunch together with a silk ribbon, placing them in a squat or bulb-shaped vase.
