How To Make A Recycled Valentine Decor: Hanging Flower Ball

2/8/2012

24 Comments

 
Love is in the air. And some of you are busy decorating their places in preparation for Valentines. I am thinking of a great decor this love day and flower balls are just perfect. Flower balls are commonly seen at weddings and other elegant events. This is  just so easy to make using recycled papers and other materials you can find at home. And what is good about this is that you can do it yourself and you don't need a florist at all - you save a lot of money!

Materials:

Papers
Glue
Scissors
Pins
Styrofoam ball

Procedures:
1. Cut some pieces of papers and make several flowers out of these papers. I used the same technique I have done in making Floral Christmas Wreath. To check the instructions on how to make paper flowers, click here. I used red papers but you can also use some colors and types of papers if you want. Tips: Pages of old books creates an elegant product that are good for weddings. Pages of magazine create a very chic and playful outcome that you can use for parties.

2. Gather all the flowers you made. Attach the flower to the styrofoam ball with the pins. Use small sticks to push the pins inside the flower.

3. Make sure to go around the entire ball and make a complete circle. Just repeat until you filled the entire ball with flowers.

4. Before covering the entire ball with flowers, leave a small space where you can put your handle/string.

5. Get a strip of paper. Clue and connect the ends. Pin it on the styrofoam. Voila! You now have a very elegant decor you can hang for Valentines day. :)

You can now hang it on your ceiling or decorate a room full of flower balls. This adds a romantic flair to any event. They're great also from hanging on tent edges or on the ends of pews.

Tips: Pins are cheaper and can hold the flowers tightly. Choose the color of the paper according to the event. White, glossy and shiny papers are great for weddings. Pink, lavender and pastel colors are great for debuts. You can also make flower balls and put it on the chairs or as a centerpiece.

Another best tutorial on valentine's decor by using recycled materials. The gadget decor is nice. It intensifies the beauty within the room where it is being hang. This could be an added tips for our school children. I will let my H.E. teachers introduce this to them. I'm sure the kids will really like it. Thanks Noks!

Don't go out and buy a pricey vase for your arrangements. Raid your kitchen instead.
