What inspired me to do these DIY Autumn Bouquets?

I have always loved the fall decor colors in my home. We have many natural wood tones, and the orange and red colors pop in my space.

What supplies did I use to make these DIY Autumn Bouquets?

Supplies used:

  • 3 - small metal buckets
  • 1 dry foam brick
  • 1 fall color ribbon 1 yard long - optional
  • Hot glue gun and glue stick
  • 2 featured fall bouquets of silk flowers with pumpkin and sunflower
  • 2 plain bouquets of silk flowers - autumn colors

How much did it cost to make these DIY Autumn Bouquets?

It only cost me $10.00 for the extra bouquets of flowers at Michaels. They were running a sale. The other flowers were from last year's craft project and weren't completely used. The baskets were from my son's high school graduation party, and I have wanted to use them for another project. This project would be perfect!

How long did it take to make this DIY Autumn Bouquet?

It only took me about 1 hour to make all three of them.

How did I make these Autumn Bouquets?

Step 1: First, measure the ribbon around the basket. Then, cut them to length for all three baskets. Add the ribbon to the baskets with hot glue. Run a bead of glue around the metal baskets and add the ribbon as you go along. Be careful, it could be hot.

Using Hot glue attach the ribbon to basket

Step 2: Cut the foam and fit it inside the metal baskets. I used scissors to cut the foam. It worked pretty well. You could try a knife instead of scissors if you want.

Step 3: Cut the flowers using tin snips or something that can cut wire since the follower stems have wires in them.

Below is a photo of all the silk flowers I used. It was a total of 4 bouquets - two fancy and two plain.

Note: I also noticed that the leaves were pushed down from the flowers. So, I pressed them up toward the flowers to make them look fuller. That was something I had never even noticed before. Some flowers' leaves are separate from the flowers. Pressing them up together makes the silk flowers look full. Yay!

If flower leaves are separated push them up to flower

Step 4: I started pressing the stems into the foam, starting at the outer part of the baskets.

I worked my way around and added the sunflower and pumpkin to the top of the bouquets for a finished look.

Tips on making these Autumn Bouquets

Hot glue dries fast, so be sure to add the ribbon right away to the metal.
