DIY Floral Initial

Hey Guys,

I have started the process of making decorations for Aria’s second birthday. I am huge into planning early, because I like to have everything done a month prior so I can focus on the day.

I found this adorable floral initial on pinterest. I knew it would suit my theme perfectly. It could also double as home decor afterwords.

Things you will need:


-cardboard
-letter to trace or you can free hand it, or a letter like this one from a craft store.
–sharp blade
–flowers
-hot glue gun
–frame (optional)

Sketch out the letter. If you are setting it in a frame make sure it is sized as such. Cut out letter with the sharp blade. Or if you bought a letter already cut skip this step

Start arranging and gluing down flowers. I just scattered them out and glued them on at random.
This will be pretty time consuming. It took me a few hours to complete. It really is worth it. You can use these for weddings, showers, parties, home decor, etc. They are so cute and so fun. Of course you can always make them with fresh flowers, they just won’t keep as long.

 

 

 

I would love to see how yours turned out. Leave me a link or a picture below!

    Email me Sarah I want to see it! Right now the sides are raw I'm debating of leaving them covering them with flowers or leaves. Hobby lobby had their garlands 50% off so they were 5$ I just hacked the flowers off. I kinda don't mind the raw edges. Also hobby lobby had the frames for 50% off and mine had a scratch I didn't care about so I got another 10% off that. Are you making it for Kendall or do you already know what #2 is 😉

    Nice deals!! I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday and couldn't find anything I loved but I did settle for the bunch on the floor in the picture I texted you.
    No, we wont know what baby #2 is for another week. 🙁 This is for Kendall's big girl room. I'm slowly getting it ready for her to move into after baby 2 is big enough to take over the crib and nursery that is currently Kendall's room.
