Dried Flower Wall Sconce Project
Monday, February 26, 2001


 Supplies:

  • 1 pkg. ea. Of the following dried flowers
    • Tree Fern Foliage
    • Delphinium
    • Roses
    • Rice flower
    • Lemon mint (Lilac)
    • Safflower
    • Cockscomb

    General Supplies:

  • Wire cutters
  • Floral Foam
  • Floral tape
  • Floral picks
  • Sconce/Container
  • Spanish Moss to cover Foam
  • Glue/glue gun
Instructions:
  • Insert Floral Foam into the container. Make sure it is secure; you may need to glue it in.
  • Cover foam with Spanish moss.
  • You will need to “pick” a lot of these dried flowers to strengthen the stem and get a good secure hold. You do this by cutting the floral stem to the desired length, and then lay a cluster of stems together against the wooden pick. Wrap the wire tightly around the stems. Now wrap with floral tape.
  • These are a layered arrangement, so each different flower type will be at a different height.
  • Start low with the tree fern around the front and sides. (Don’t worry about the back because it won’t be seen.)
  • Next add all the roses grouped in the front center.
  • The next layer is the dyed Lemon Mint.
  • Followed by Rice Flower.
  • The following layer is Cockscomb.
  • The next to last layer is Safflower.
  • Finally we have the Delphinium.
  • This is a great way to bring the colors of nature into the house even in the midst of a Thunder Ice Storm!!! Have fun making this arrangement and substitute your favorite dried flowers to make the arrangement special to you.
  • Enjoy, DAZ
