DIY Farmhouse Flower Arrangement

Learn how easy it is to make this DIY farmhouse flower arrangement from start to finish!

To begin with, I gave a thrift store basket a minor makeover. I think the grapevine basket helps give the spring arrangement a rustic or country style farmhouse vibe.

Don’t you just love the unique grapevine design of the basket? You can find a plethora of different kinds of baskets when thrifting so be on the lookout!

DIY FARMHOUSE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT

Salvia and lavender flowers always come to mind when I think of farmhouse style so I definitely wanted to include stems from one of those plants.

I also wanted to add a spring accent color to make the arrangement pop. Since there are so many springy colors that would compliment the purple blooms the substitutions are endless.

The best thing about using faux flowers in arrangements is that they stay “fresh” forever, right?!

Let’s get started with the tutorial!

I chose coral peonies, lavender, and a multi-greenery bush that included ivory flowers. The basket was spray painted with Rust-oleum paint & primer in Fossil Satin.

HOW TO MAKE A FLOWER ARRANGEMENT

STEP 1: CUT EACH STEM OFF THE BUSHES

I used wire cutter snips to cut off each stem as indicated below.

STEP 2: ADD STYROFOAM, MOSS, AND GREENERY

Place your styrofoam block in the bottom of the basket and add moss.

For my type of basket, I had to make sure the moss covered all evidence of the styrofoam blocks.

Start pushing the stems into your blocks, spacing them to cover the entire area.

Vary your greenery stems so no two alike are next to each other.

The leaf greenery is next to be inserted. I used the leaves from a grapevine bush that I had on hand.

Stick the leaf stems at the base of the greenery stems so sparse areas are filled in.

STEP 3: ADD THE LAVENDER STEMS

Place the lavender stems so they are evenly distributed among your greenery. I shaped the stems, where needed, if they looked too “plastic perfect.”

STEP 4: ADD THE PEONY STEMS

Insert the peony stems near the base of the greenery. Don’t make the placement too perfect and be sure to shape stems where needed.

Open up some of the bloom petals more than others so they don’t all look perfect and exactly the same.

Once this is done, you’ve completed your arrangement!

      Thank you, Pam! This arrangement was really quick and easy. It probably took me longer to pick out the flowers than it did to actually make the arrangement. Lol

    This is a beautiful flower arrangement! The lavender and peonies look so good together. I’ve been having trouble trying to figure out what to get my mom for Mother’s Day this year and this is such a great idea! She loves flowers!

      Thanks, Michelle! I sent fresh flower bouquets for the past two years, so I wanted to change it up this year with a permanent arrangement. Enjoy the rest of your week! 🙂

      I always see a ton of different baskets when I go thrifting. This particular basket was bent a little bit, but once the flowers were put in you can’t tell it’s bent.

      I can’t wait to give the arrangement to my mama for Mother’s Day! I usually send fresh flowers, but this arrangement should last a lot longer LOL.
