DIY Faux Floral Planter
Learn how to effortlessly create this stunning faux floral arrangement DIY for your front porch, bringing the perfect touch of beauty to your home this Fall season!
Materials
- Half Ball Dry Foam
- Outdoor Planter (12 inch diameter)
- Faux Floral Stems ( I used 5 packs)
- Pot Filler (soil, dirt, etc)
Tools
- Scissors
- Utility Knife
Instructions
- First, fill your pot or planter about 1/3 of the way with soil or pebbles to ensure that it is heavy enough to stay in place.
- Next, stick your floral stems into the dry foam starting at the perimeter of the circle. Be sure to space each stem about 2-3 fingers distance apart from one another and push them deep enough until the thick part of the stem is completely in the foam.
- Keep filling the foam by using this method until you have covered it in stems. Now, open up each stem to fluff your arrangement (like you would fake Christmas branches).
- Lastly. place your faux floral arrangement on top of your filler in the pot. Be sure that the sides of the foam are inside the pot to ensure the floral arrangement will not fly away. You may have to shave the sides of the foam with a utility knife to get the foam to fit in perfectly in the pot.
Your arrangement is ready for your front porch! Feel free to add any filler stems or decorative items to personalize your arrangement!
