Decorate Like Fixer Upper's Joanna Gaines With The Sweetest Floral Decor DIY
While Joanna Gaines has become a household name thanks to her impeccable interior design prowess, she's also quite an accomplished gardener and floral stylist. And when she reveals little snippets of her gorgeous flower arrangements at her home in Texas, like an adorable floral cloche DIY that she made with her son, we can't help but take notice. Using dried florals from her garden and clumps of verdant moss, the duo created stunning decor pieces to decorate their treehouse. While it's a DIY project that's simple enough for a child to help with, it's also an ultrasophisticated way to decorate your home with flowers.
By encasing the flowers within a glass cloche, it transforms them from a simple arrangement into a curated display that would look fabulous whether styled on a bookshelf, fireplace mantel, or table. It also protects the dried blooms from getting dusty or damaged. In addition to being a lovely way to incorporate a bit of nature into your home decor, a dried floral cloche will also last all year long. In fact, you could even use faux flowers instead of dried flowers for this project. Best of all, you can snag cloches like this PLYMOR Mini Glass Display Cloche or this NBEADS Glass Dome Cover for less than $10 on Amazon, which are similar to the ones Gaines used. If you're looking for an easy way to decorate your home like Joanna Gaines, you should definitely consider giving this floral cloche DIY a try.
Creating a beautiful floral cloche with dried or faux flowers
The key to creating a cloche arrangement that stands on its own is to use a flower pin, such as this TKYPZY Flower Frog Holder. It acts as a weighted base, and the little metal spikes will hold your stems upright. Simply place the flower frog in the center of your cloche's base and insert floral stems in between the prongs. Be sure to vary the heights of the flowers for visual interest. Keep it simple with just one floral type or create a bountiful look with several different flowers. To hide the pin, either cover it with green moss like Gaines or strategically place flowers around the base to hide it.
To get a similar look as Gaines' arrangement, you could use dried or faux daisy stems as well as a sprig of dried green leaves. Or, go big on color by using rainbow-hued florals like MOORCHOCO's Dried Baby's Breath Flowers. Want a softer, more romantic look? Stick to flowers in varying shades of pink. Another idea is to incorporate dried ferns or twigs to lend a woodland look. You could also add faux butterflies or toadstool mushrooms for a touch of whimsy. Love fairy gardens? Create one inside the cloche with miniature accessories like garden gnomes or a fairy house, and add LED string lights for an extra magical touch. Such a lovely way to style greenery and florals in any area of your home!
