Look what I made for the chapel doors! They are so cute!
What you need:
- Flowers (I used fake flowers from (2) 6’ floral garland strands I bought from Michael’s for $9.99 each.)
- Hot glue gun/glue sticks
- Ribbon
- Floral wire
- Sheet of 1” thick styrofoam
- Patience
What you do:
- Cut out letters in desired font and size. If you don’t have a styrofoam cutter, a kitchen knife will work. Just be careful!
- Use hot glue to secure about 1 cm worth of ribbon on the top of the letters.
- Cut about 1-1/2” of floral wire, bend it into an upside down “U” shape, and press the ends into the ribbon, almost like a staple. Make sure to leave a little bit of space in front of and behind ribbon so there is room to put flowers there.
- Cut the stems off of the flowers a few millimeters below the bud. This is the part you will stick into the styrofoam.
- Press the flower into syrofoam to make a hole. Remove flower, fill hole with hot glue, stick flower back in. Cover the front and side surfaces of the letters.
- Enjoy!
