Make a pink dried flower bouquet

Posted on by Ruth

DIY dried flower bouquet

Make your own bouquet from dried flower stems such as delphiniums, dried oats, and daisy-like white acroclinium or similar white rhodanthus flowers.

How to make a dried flower bouquet

I used one bunch each of the flowers listed above, except the acroclinium, which only required 12-15 stems. As well as the flowers, you will need some ribbon, an elastic band, secateurs and sharp scissors for this DIY project.

Start with four bunches of dried flowers – these are from daisyshop.co.uk

Prepare the delphinium stems by removing any side shoots and sharp sticks

Make a DIY hand-tied bouquet

Build up the arrangement as shown below then tie with ribbon or twine.

Holding the bouquet in one hand, slowly build it up by adding a stem at a time (a few stems of oats), rotating the bunch a little each time and slowly placing the stems lower down the bunch
tying a bow
Tie a ribbon around the flowers. (L-R) Wrap the ribbon around the flowers three times; tie a half-knot so that one end points top right; make a loop with each end; wrap one loop around the other and pull through. If you’re not confident that the ribbon will hold the flowers in place, wrap an elastic band around the stems before you start and hide it underneath
Finished professional-looking bow. Trim the ribbon ends at an angle and cut the stems straight across.

Display the dried flowers as a gift or in a vase

The finished bouquet is about 45cm long and is suitable to give as a gift, or skip the ribbon stage and display informally in a jug

    Good Evening,
    I want to make a DIY dried flower bouquet with dried heather as the main theme. I have dried bunches of lung and bell heather. Could you recommend some dried flowers that would compliment the heather in the bouquet.
    Thanks
    Rebecca

      Hi Rebecca,
      That’s a tricky one – if you include flowers with larger heads, they will naturally dominate. You could mix in some blue dried lavender or white dried gypsophila for a bit of contrast, or some dried grasses – I think oats might look quite nice, which dry a pale green colour.
      Good luck! Ruth
