Ikebana favors & floral tabletop décor for your wedding – DIY idea
In the course of planning a wedding, you realise that it's the little things and details that take up the most time and are also reflected in the costs. Fortunately, however, it's also the details that you can often do yourself. Flowers and dried flowers are particularly suitable for beautiful wedding DIYs. For example, have you ever heard of ikebana table decorations or the term in general? It is a Japanese art of flower arranging. The arrangement of flowers and the resulting flower arrangements can be used as ikebana table decorations or wedding favours. Would you like to make your own ikebana arrangements for your wedding or the wedding of friends or family? We have prepared the following for you.
Materials required:
- Branch discs
- Express wood glue
- Cordless drill with thin wood drill bit
- Wood to place underneath
- Flowers that can be dried (wheat, grasses, gypsophila, sea lilac, panicum, eucalyptus)
- scissors
- Floral wire
- Wooden stick or similar
- Template
In preparation for the DIY, the flowers are placed in a vase, bowl or other container without water. After a few days, the grasses and flowers are dried and can be used.
Instructions for the host gift
Step 1: Glue the branch discs together
First, two branch discs are glued together using wood glue to make the ikebana arrangements more stable.
Step 2: Drill small holes
Small holes are then drilled into the branch discs using a cordless drill with a particularly fine wood drilling attachment.
Step 3: Decorate ikebanas with dried flowers
Now small, individual sprigs of dried flowers and grasses can be inserted into the small holes to decorate the ikebana branch discs as desired.
Step 4: Add "Thank you" sign
To make the small sign, first print out the template on slightly thicker paper and cut it out. Then wrap the end of a piece of wire around a wooden stick or similar. The "Thank you" sign can now be inserted into the holder created in this way. Finally, the other end of the wire is fixed in one of the holes in the branch disc. It's so easy to make your own ikebana arrangements and your little gift is ready.
