Dollar Tree Flower Wall DIY

My sister is having a baby and I am in charge of decorations. I've been wanting to find a reason or occasion to make a flower wall and I found one. Since I'm in charge of all the decorations, I had to ensure that I could make this flower wall on a budget. I searched Pinterest, YouTube, and the web tirelessly looking for a flower wall that I didn't have to spend over or close to $100 to create. Most of the videos I found utilized the dollar store for all of the supplies, but I would still have to buy tons of bundles of flowers, which would inflate the total cost for materials. Finally, I found a YouTube video that helped me achieve budget I desired. The YouTuber is One Hip Sistah and included the link below to her video. All of the supplies she used were purchased from the Dollar Tree. I bought everything but the colored flowers from Dollar Tree. Also, I made my wall 3 times the size of hers because I am using it as a photo backdrop and I wanted it to stand by itself.

Here are the materials I used:

6 - 20" X 30" Readi-Board White Foam Boards ($6.00)
11 - 150 ct. White Coffee Filters ($11.00)
4 - Crafter's Square Mini Hot Glue Sticks, 20 ct. packs ($4.00)
50 - Light Blue Foam Rose Head Artificial Flowers ($5.99)
50 - Cream Foam Rose Head Artificial Flowers ($5.99)
13 - 4 pcs Silver Foam Roses ($12.87)
2 - White Duct Tape ($2.00)
Glue Gun
Scissors

Total Cost - $47.85

Directions:

1. I taped the White Foam boards together like in the video and used white masking tape. Since my board is much bigger, I used pieces of scrap foam board that I had to support the back of the wall.

2. I put 3 coffee filters together and fold it in half and then another half. I would use the scissors to cut waves in the top of the filters.

3. Then, I would open the filters back up and use my finger to push the coffee filters into the hole in my other hand. I would than twist the bottom of the filters.

4. I would then use the hot glue to glue the "flower" onto the foam board.

6. I repeated making flowers and gluing them until the whole board was filled. I would work on it a little at time until it was finished.

7. If you want an all white wall you can leave that way, but I began placing all of the colored flowers in spaces between the coffee filter flowers throughout the wall.

8. Once I was ok with the design I hot glued them onto the wall.

I have included pictures of the all white wall and of the wall with colored flowers. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please leave a like or comment!!
