Receiving flowers on those all important days is always nice. Be it wedding flowers, a grand birthday bouquet or a sweet and charming Valentine’s boxed flowers, fresh flowers are a delight to look at and keep around the house. After the festive occasion has passed, it is indeed a shame to throw out these blooming beauties right away. Rather, this year, you can definitely do some delightful DIY projects with the flower petals, creating pressed flowers, making décor or even conjuring up some edible rose petals.

What are the benefits of making things with fresh flowers?

According to studies, those who work with flowers feel more at peace and calmer. Fresh flowers are not only aesthetically pleasing, they are also good for our mental health and peace of mind. The task of doing these crafts can also help with our general dexterity and organisational skills. In addition, these are all eco-friendly alternatives to items you can find in the shop, so they are all feel-good projects!

Fresh Flowers DIYs You Can Make at Home

Here are five things that you can make with your fresh flowers at the comfort of your own home:

• Pressed flower cards: Show your sincerity to others by making lovely DIY cards with pressed flowers. Dry the flowers and leaves first before placing in a thick, heavy book to flatten.
• Potpourri: Freshen up your home, closet and drawers with dried flowers. Create your own potpourri by cutting off flower heads and drying them in the oven with a few drops of your favourite essential oils.
• Scented flower water: Boil the petals and water together and leave to cool for nice perfumed water to use on yourself or your linen.
• Edible flowers: Dried, sugared roses add a wonderful touch to the top of cakes. Rosewater can also be sweetened and consumed.
• Flower decorations: You can create a beautiful flower wall to hang in your room. You could either hang your flowers by strings to create an enchanting backdrop or attach the flowers to a metal grid of your desired size.
