Paper Flower Decor for Your Home
You can make beautiful paper flower decor items for you home using mulberry paper. The project ideas are numerous in this article we will look at as many as possible.
Paper flower decor for your home can include everything from flower centerpieces for your dining room table to picture frames of your loved ones. Or perhaps you bathroom needs a little colorful lift how about an air freshener cover made with mulberry paper flowers?
A little about mulberry paper before we take a closer look at all the home projects you can create with this paper. Mulberry paper comes from Thailand. It is made from the mulberry tree and has a smooth texture that gives flowers a more natural look. Mulberry sheets come in a 21X31 square. This paper is easy to work with and produces beautiful flowers and other paper projects.
Mulberry paper is very popular for making wedding arrangements, bridal bouquets and invitations. This paper is also perfect for any home décor project that uses paper.
Let’s look at some ideas for your home. Obliviously we have the paper flower arrangements, you can create any flower arrangement you would like for your home using mulberry paper. Many people make entire little gardens in there home.
Mini Paper Flower Garden – All you need are window sill boxes, some green square Styrofoam to insert the flower stems into and the paper flowers. You will of course also need a book on how to make paper flowers, mulberry paper and a few other essential tools and products. Once you have them all you can start making your flowers. When you have finished the flowers and placed them in the window sill container you have the option of placing them in the window sill, along the fireplace mantel or creating a little garden in a corner of the room.
The little garden is my personal favorite. For this you should use round planters. Plastic or ceramic will work just fine. Place your flowers in the containers and try to use an assortment of flowers and be sure to make some of the stems a bit longer so all of your flowers are not the same size. Don’t forget your greens. You can use a piece of green indoor/outdoor carpeting as your “grass” to place all the containers on. Be sure to place them close together for that real garden look. If you have a little white garden style picket fence you can use it to enclose your mini indoor garden. Also a nice added touch if you have the room is a little fountain in the center. Most craft stores sell plastic “life-size” or smaller birds that you could easily attach to the bird bath or a fountain.
Your guests will be amazed at your beautiful mini indoor garden. Don’t be surprised if the ask you to make them one for their home. Nothing brightens a room like a flower garden in the dead of winter!
Photo Frames – Most of us love to hang photos our family members and friends on the wall or set them on a stand. Making photo frames out of mulberry paper is simple. To decorate the frames make a flower or two (minus the stems) and glue them to the outside of the frame.
Air Fresheners – If you use the cone shaped air fresheners in your home why not dress them up a little. Simply cover the cone with mulberry paper and make a flower of your choice (again no stem needed) and attach the flower to the top of the cone. Not only will your home smell wonderful but the flowers will add a special touch of beauty.
There are so many paper flower décor items you can make for your home. Let your imagination take you on a journey.
