This is the easiest, yet one of the loveliest projects you can do. The simplicity of it makes a statement all by itself!
You’ll end up with a beautiful piece of art that takes no time at all, but looks like it did! Wildflower frames make beautiful gifts, and it’s a lovely way of displaying wedding flowers after the the big day … it’s also a great project to do with your kiddos, since there really is nothing to it.
Step 1:
Clean your glass frame well and make sure it’s completely dry. Attach a ribbon that will compliment the colour of your flowers.
Step 2:

The fun bit! Put your glass frame to one side, and lay your flowers out on a piece of paper or board -then start to have a play around (carefully – they’re really delicate!)
Step 3:
There is no right way when it comes to your design – you can either go simplistic – arranging them in a straight line, or you can opt for a more natural approach. If you want a natural-looking design try arranging them how you might see them in the wild – ie group some of the same flowers together (groups of 3 work well) and overlap them … above all just have fun and see where it takes you!
Step 4:
Once you have a layout you’re happy with, you can start to transfer them onto the glass. Apply a tiny dot of glue to the back of the flower and begin layering up the flowers. Start with the biggest flowers first … ago from there.
Step 5:
One they’re all laid out, very carefully remove any bits of dust / dirt and leave to dry. When dry close your frame, hang it up on the wall!
