Summer Swag: Two Gorgeous Wall Hanging DIYs With Dried Flowers

We could spend our whole summer traipsing from wedding to wedding. And, some summers, we do. We get so much wedding design inspiration from the ladies of 100 Layer Cake, a blog soon-to-be brides everywhere rely on for chic ideas and endless inspiration.  Jillian, Kristina and Amanda, the ladies behind the blog, are sharing a series of summer projects with us - all using dried florals. See the first one here, enjoy the two below, and we're saving the Chalkboard-iest of all for last. A project we're already making in the office and can't wait to share later this month!  Our love affair with dried flowers continues this summer, this time with two simple tutorials. Now you can add the loveliness of a dry flower arrangement to an upcoming fête, on a larger scale.

DIY straw flower wall hanging

Straw flowers are unique because they look exactly the same when they are fresh as they do when dried. Which means this summer when you see them at the farmer’s market, you can buy an armload and enjoy them for the rest of the season with very little effort. If you’re feeling crafty, just a few simple supplies can transform them into a focal point of your home for the months to come. [olists num=1]

DIY dried flower swag

We love wintery swags full of fragrant greenery during the holidays so much that we decided to try a more summery version using loads of different dried flowers. This project is a little free form and really depends on what flowers you’ve chosen or have available. We’ll outline some basic principles that should point you in the right direction.
