Silk Flower Arrangement Projects

Holiday Centerpieces

• A silk flower holiday centerpiece is a long lasting and beautiful addition to any holiday decor scheme. For Thanksgiving, a centerpiece with harvest themes and seasonal colors can be placed on a tabletop or mantel for a lasting look. Holiday silk centerpieces can be arranged in pottery, baskets or ceramic vases. For example, if using a basket, place a piece of floral foam inside and arrange a colorful display of silk flowers. Wrap a color-coordinating ribbon around the outside and add accessories such as faux berries and candles within the arrangement.

Wreath Arrangements

• You can use silk flower wreath arrangements both indoors and outdoors thanks to their durability compared to a fresh flower wreath. Silk flower wreath arrangements are a wise choice for front door decor, special occasions, and gifts. Create a silk flower wreath by using a basic foam or grapevine wreath found at a crafts store. Using color-coordinated silk flowers, cut the stems just below the petals. Hot glue the flowers onto the wreath. Cover the base wreath underneath completely. A silk flower wreath can also be themed for holidays.

Hair Accessories

• Silk flower hair clips can be used with any hairstyle to give a stylish and chic upgrade to your whole ensemble. Silk flower hair accessories are easy to make, can be matched to any outfit, and can harmonize the outfit by coordinating with the color scheme of your clothes. Hot glue a small silk flower arrangement (cut the stems off and only use one to four small flowers) onto a round piece of felt. Hot glue a double-pronged metal hair clip to the underside of a small silk flower arrangement and you have an inexpensive hair accessory that looks like you spent much more on it than you actually did. Add detail such as rhinestones or a ribbon if you wish.

Wedding Bouquets

• A wedding bouquet made with silk flower arrangements is a way that brides can shave money off their floral budget while creating a beautiful arrangement of flowers that will never wilt. Silk flowers can even be scented to smell like the real thing and are ideal for brides who are highly allergic to flowers or smells. In addition, using silk flowers allows brides to use exotic or out-of-season flowers without having to spend extra money. Make your own silk flower bouquet in the same way you would make a fresh flower bouquet. Use a bouquet holder with foam inside as your base. Add your choice of silk flower stems (cutting the stem to about 3 inches in length), keeping in mind the overall shape that you want to achieve. After you have added all the large silk flower blooms you want, add filler flowers such as silk baby's breath or fern into the open spots. Add accessories such as ribbons or pearls.
