DIY Sweet Faux Bulb Planters For Adorable Decor With A Dollar Tree Baking Staple

Stunning flowers come back to life as the weather warms up during spring, which is a beautifully symbolic representation of the new beginnings the season welcomes each year. You get to observe these flowers any time you are lucky enough to stumble upon an outdoor garden (or maybe you have one right in your yard), but wouldn't it be nice to see this sort of colorful display right inside your home? You can do this with faux bulb planters using supplies from Dollar Tree. All you have to do is paint the 6-Cup Tin Muffin Pan, place half of the Foam Crafting Balls inside of each cup, and fill them with faux flowers of your choice as well as some Floral Garden Floral Moss.

You also have the freedom to customize this DIY however you'd like, using any additional crafting supplies you have at home. The finished result is a faux bulb planter that you can use to bring nature indoors. It'll add spring cheer to a coffee table, kitchen island, countertop, or anywhere else in your home that seems like a good fit. The great thing about these faux bulbs is that they are far more low maintenance than real flowers. This is the perfect alternative for those who don't have a green thumb.

To create this sweet DIY floral decor, start by applying spray paint to your muffin pan. You may want to opt for a shade that matches or compliments the faux flowers you selected. Next, allow the muffin pan to dry completely. Once the pan is no longer wet to the touch, cut the Foam Crafting Balls in half and glue one piece into each of the six cups with a hot glue gun (and E6000 for more stability). Now, you can place each of the faux flower stems right into the foam, adding a bit of glue so that they remain upright. Consider cutting the stems at the ends to make the flowers different heights for a natural look.

You have tons of options when it comes to faux flowers. The Deorok Latex Tulips will help you achieve the look shown above. However, the U'Artlines Artificial Peony Silk Flowers are another stunning choice worth considering. Once you have placed the flowers into the foam, follow that up by covering the base with Floral Garden Floral Moss. You can use this trick to make the artificial flowers look real since it covers up the foam that would otherwise be exposed. Just glue the moss right on top of the foam inside of each cup in the muffin pan with a glue gun. You can either stop there or take this DIY up a notch by gluing garden pebbles on the tin around the moss. Feel free to add a touch of garden-inspired whimsy with faux butterflies, such as the Ysleen Monarch Butterfly Decorations sold in a set of 12.
