It doesn't matter the season I am always excited to change up my decor! This is a piece that can be displayed in your house or outdoors. You will want to make sure it is protected from inclement weather as the ribbon and wood flowers last longer when dry.
Here is what I used for this project:
I cut the ribbon into many different lengths but always cut at around a 45 degree angle. Starting at one end of the bottom of the triangle, I created a loose loop with a ribbon and pulled the end of the ribbon through the loop (making sure the triangle was in between}. It is a little hard to describe but I looped it around the triangle the way I loop a scarf around my neck!
To add even more texture and dimension, I don't fold the ribbon in half to make my loop. Instead, I make one side longer than the other (how much longer changes each time).
Preserved bleached "greenery" and fillers have been on trend for a while now and since we just got new versions in our shop, I wanted to try to keep everything in the ivory/white/pink/burgundy family!
For this step, I actually created little filler bundles and tied them together with twine. Then I attached them to the triangle by tying them on with more twine! I attached to the triangle in 2-3 different spots to ensure they had a good hold.
I find that making bundles first is a bit easier to play with their shape. Plus, it makes for less of a twine mess on the back of the project.
This is a super fun hack I learned from one of our customers. Cut off a ~4 inch strip of binding wire and bend it in half. Glue the bended section into the bottom of your flower. Now you are able to place the flower onto the triangle and twist the binding wire so the flower stays in place!
It's pretty magical!
Here is a list of the flowers I used for this project:
Add your flowers to the triangle using the binding wire trick until you like the overall shape and balance of colors.
Since the ribbon, filler and most of the flowers are lighter shades, I wanted to bring in some darker elements to tie the burgundy flowers in. Welcome to our triangle, sedum and sparkle fall berries!
For these bits and bobs of filler, I simply hot glued them into spaces between flowers or flowers and bleached filler.
And there you have it! A romantic, boho piece that can be hung in your house, on your front door, in my (or your) 4 season room, or on your covered porch to give it a little boost! Pair it with fairy lights, some candles, soft pink pillows, the outdoor breeze...and you have a new sanctuary at home
