You might as well roll out the red carpet because flower crafts and Lars are basically one in the same, are they not? I think Monet might have said it best, “I must have flowers, always, and, always.” Three summers ago I worked on a flower farm in upstate New York, and it may have just been the best job I’ve ever had. It was hard work and not glamorous many days, but I gained an all-time appreciation for flowers and how beautiful they truly are. Summer is slowly creeping in here, by the day, and there will be plenty of flower crafts to make for everyone below!
DIY pressed flower tray
This DIY pressed flower tray inlay is beautiful! So practical and much simpler to make than you may think. Once it’s ready you can use it all summer long for crafts or snacks, even supplies or anything that needs quick and convenient transport around the house. Tossing those week old flowers? Keep ’em and try this one of a kind flower craft!
DIY Summer Flower Garland
Another perfect summer decoration hangs in the balance – haha get it? Hang this DIY Summer Flower Garland as a summer party backdrop or any occasion you want to make fun and floral. Every season is an excuse to make a garland and spiff up the house a little bit! Think about what flowers or themes inspire you and then get to crafting!
DIY Flower head vase
Something about a portrait vase always feels timeless and classy to me. It reminds me of Greek statutes and marble busts – another time and take on the arts. This DIY Flower head vase however, will be much easier and simpler to craft. No sculpting skills needed! Arrange your head vase and flowers the way you want them and you’ll have elegant floral decorum in no time.
DIY Paper Passion Fruit Flower
Did you see our DIY Paper Passion Fruit Flower? It’s part of Lars World Tour this year, inspired by the first stop – Brazil! Much of Brazil maintains a tropical climate, hence the passion fruit, which grows as a flowering vine native to warm, humid environments. So if you want to set the mood for somewhere on a beach this summer, Lars will help you make this Passion Fruit Flower!
DIY Paper daisy backdrop and video
Think daisy chains but HUGE. Just two basic components make an easy but bold combo! The DIY Paper daisy backdrop is designed for easy wall application, but can be used in many versatile settings. Inside, outside, hanging or for a photo set, these daisies are a flower crafter’s best friend!
8 projects to make with fresh flowers
If you’re a fresh flower snob like me, dive into the world of fresh flower projects galore! With 8 projects to make with fresh flowers there is a different flower craft for everyone. You could practically host a flower workshop with all the ideas here, or invite some friends over and bounce designs off each other! There are many ways to use flowers besides displaying them in a vase – but I will never hold it against you. Flowers all day every day please!
DIY Grocery Store Flower Bouquet
Continuing on my fresh flower rant, flower bouquets do not in fact have to cost an arm and a leg. Premade arrangements tend to cost more, but if you know how to make one on your own you can keep a few bucks in your wallet! Follow along in our DIY Grocery Store Flower Bouquet tutorial and you’ll find some helpful pointers on how to bring everything together!
Edible flower pot
Quick, break for a treat! The Edible flower pot reminds me of discovering edible dirt when I was a kid. Once the “dirt” before me was revealed to be oreo crumble, chocolate pudding and gummy worms, my disgust promptly turned into a keen interest in soil. Every night. After dinner. I always loved how clever of a treat it was – the best dessert of your life hiding in plain sight! You can do the same with this edible flower pot and surprise everyone with sheer flower cuteness!
Summer Paper Flower Wedding Bouquet Kit
Ah yes, summer also means: wedding season! I picked up a few skills while I worked on the farm, including floral arrangements! I once had a client request to include a certain type of greenery, but in a faux version, as the client was allergic to the real deal. Having it blend in with real plants was a new challenge, and although everything turned out great, I wish I had had this Summer Paper Flower Wedding Bouquet Kit at the time. I think the crepe paper bouquets look so natural, and you’ll never have to worry about watering them or hoping they don’t wilt!
Hand embroidered Peter Pan collar
Have you heard?? Peter Pan collars are back! I mean, it might just be what I wanted to hear – but I did read it somewhere and that’s about all the validation I need to wear it out of the house lol. I love that this Hand embroidered Peter Pan collar is removable, because heaven knows I am incessantly trying my outfits on and off like it’s my job. This has a special embroidered flower pattern to go with it, just in time for summer or whenever you feel like it!
We hope you try these flowers crafts and then tag us as #LarsMakes! We love seeing your flower creations come to life!
