The Popsicle Stick Wall Hanging Flower Vase That Adds A Rustic Vibe To Your Decor

While popsicle sticks may be the type of arts and crafts material you'd commonly associate with preschool projects, they are entirely more versatile than you think. From drink coasters to DIY lamps, it turns out there are many popsicle stick projects that are perfect for around the house. One of the chicest ideas we've come across is to DIY a beautiful wall vase out of popsicle sticks. It's an unexpected décor item that feels rustic, playful, and elevated all at once.

This is also a beginner-friendly type of craft, and you could even have kids help with it, if you'd like. Best of all, you can customize the size, shape, and style of your wall vase any way that you'd like. If you're looking for beautiful ways to decorate your home with flowers, then you'll definitely want to check out this DIY wall hanging flower vase.

In addition to popsicle sticks, you'll need a hot glue gun to construct your hanging vase. It will consist of two components: a flat piece that will hang against the wall, and a front pouch where you can add the flowers. First, decide what shape you want your vase to be. For example, you could create a square, elongated rectangle, triangular, or hexagonal-shaped vase. Also, decide if you want to arrange the popsicle sticks side-by-side or criss-cross them to create a lattice pattern. Once you've decided on the shape and arrangement, hot glue the popsicle sticks together. Next, make the front pouch — you could use an empty water bottle or toilet paper roll, or construct one out of cardboard. Simply glue popsicle sticks around it, and glue it to the flat piece. Don't forget to attach a loop of ribbon or twine or even picture hardware on the back for hanging.

All that's left to do now is to add some style. For a good dose of color, paint the popsicle sticks in a variety of hues. Or, stick to all one color for a more subtle look. Want to enhance the lovely wood grain? Decorate the popsicle sticks with a wood stain. Add a bit of bling by gluing some sparkling crystal beads to your project. Incorporate the grand millennial style into your home by gluing some lace or floral ribbon onto the vase. Other ideas? Attach seashells, wood beads, or pom poms for a fun three dimensional accent. Then, style the vase with faux or dried flowers, and enjoy!
