DIY Flower Tutorial using silk flowers and faux succulents
I created this flower letter for my daughters bridal shower last summer and forgot to post about it.
It is pretty simple to make…I bought the cardboad letter from Hobby Lobby and cut off one side of it so that there is empty shell. Then I filled it with floral foam by cutting it into pieces and hot gluing them into place.
Then I started placing the largest flowers in first and the succulents then filled in the empty spots with smaller flowers.
I just dabbed each stem with some hot glue before sticking the stem into the floral foam.
I just filled it to the brim with lots of flowers and it turned out perfect!
Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

I want to do this for my baby's room!lovely!
Vel....what a great idea!! We ended up giving it to my granddaughter for her bedroom. Her name is Ella and it looks so pretty in her room. I love that it is so light weight so if it ever fell off the wall no one would get hurt so it is perfect for a babies room!
That is absolutely darling Karin! Mimi xxx
Thank you Mimi...it was so fun to use at the shower and then again at the reception...we put it outside with a huge letter K for the groom so the guests would see it when the walked into the barn. It definitely made a statement :)
Fun!
THank you Butterfly 8 :) It's so fluffy and feminine I love it!
