Need a little colour in your life? Here's how to DIY luxe looking FAUX flower arrangements to brighten these dark winter days.

It’s a fact that flowers have an immediate impact on our moods…so I love that we are making these gorgeous faux flower arrangements in the dead of winter! 

It’s exactly the time of year where I start filling my house with plants and flowers to bring some life back! We’re going to make 2 gorgeous luxe looking faux flower arrangements for less.

STEP 1:  PREPARE YOU BOWL

So for this arrangement you’ll start by preparing your flower pot or bowl. 

I’m using this foam which is great for floral displays and  holding artificial flower stems in place. You can even cut and shaped for your pot. 

Once you have your foam ready, Use a glue gun and glue the foam to the bowl.

STEP 2: INSERT STEMS INTO FOAM

Next, get your orchid flowers and stick them into the foam. Spread the stems evenly around your pot.

STEP 3: GLUE MOSS

After you have your orchid stems inserted, we then glue the moss over the foam to cover it up

STEP 4: ADD LEAVES

To give your arrangement that real look, add in some leaf stems at the base of the orchid stems

What you’re going to need for the second version, a luxury rose box:

Decorative tape (optional)

Ribbon 

The process is very similar to our orchid where we prepare our box – this is great for any unused decorative boxes you may have at home. You can also find boxes at your local dollar store. You can also paint them with spray paint in the colour of your choice. 

Glue your Styrofoam in and insert the roses until you no longer see the foam. Once you’re finished, tie a wide ribbon around the box to give a more luxe look. You can also add some decorative tape if that matches your aesthetic!
