DIY: How to make a Framed Flower wall for nursery decor

8/2/2020

0 Comments

 
So I spent a good part of my week creating a framed flower wall for my 2 year old daughter Kenna and my newborn daughter Kira. This DIY project gave me much joy because I knew it came from love that I created for both of them even though it was a lot of work!!! I wanted something unique for their bedroom decor and I got the idea as I was researching to rent a flower wall for my baby shower, then decided if I was going to spend the money renting I would rather have something I can keep and display for the baby shower and the baby's room. Overall this project probably took me 2 -3 Hours to complete and cost about $305 each. I suggest if you are going to go to Michaels to collect some of these items take advantage of their 20% coupons to save money.

Instructions:
After gathering all my materials I first had to size the cork board to the frame. I had to remove the metal pieces inside the frame that held the picture in, I used needle nose pliers to do this because my cork board was too thick it wouldn't have fit if I didn't do it. I also had to use a box cutter to trim a VERY small piece of the foam board off, for the cork board to fit inside. You may or may not need to this depending on the size of your cork board and size of the frame. I hot glued the foam board to the inside of the frame for it to stay.

Next, I cut all my artificial flowers wire stems off using wire cutters, I kept an inch intact for the wire to stick into the foam board. I then created a small hole using a precision screw driver in the foam board to place a small bit of hot glue into the hole and then I placed the cut stem of the artificial flower into it. If you don't have a precision screw driver you can use the cut wire from one of the flowers to create the hole. I continued this to create a pattern and started with each of the four corners then made my way around and inward. See videos & pictures below:

Once all the flowers were placed, to tie this project together I then needed to use the clear string and sewing needle to hang the acrylic name sign to the flower board (be sure to request holes on the name sign to whomever you order the name sign from). I started by placing the threaded sewing needle in the back of the foam board, I used my needle nose pliers to find the needle on the other side of the board where the flowers are placed and then looped the needle and string through the hole of the acrylic name sign, then placed the threaded sewing needle back through the foam board near the initial hole. I tugged tightly to there wasn't much slack on the acrylic name sign and finished by tying a knot in the back. I cut off the excess string and repeated for each hole in the name sign.

Here was some of my research I used to get inspiration and information on how to make this. Also you can probably save a bit of money if you scaled this smaller (16" x 24") but I wanted to do a large frame for the room because the wall is large and Kenna has a full size bed. You can also choose to do cut out wood name instead of acrylic and if you can probably save a bit of money on the artificial flowers with Michael coupons, I went to Michaels and wasn't impressed with the quality. I really liked the quality of Lings on Amazon and splurged a bit because of it. Here is a picture of my toddler's room, we had to place high above her bed so she wouldn't try to reach for the flowers.
