Designing and creating on a simple budget.

DIY Wooden Flower Box

February 14, 2017 Uncategorized

I will show you how to make this DIY wooden flower box.

Hello there friends, hope you are well and Happy Valentine’s Day to you! Flowers have been on my mind as has spring. The two so beautifully go together and the simplicity of it all is what I find to be so enchanting.  The other day I looked out our daughters window who has a gorgeous fragrant lilac tree outside. I surveyed the tree over and over looking for the littlest sign of growth. After some more looking, I found it and I was surprised at how happy the sight of teeny tiny buds forming made me. Flowers are on the way!  Displaying flowers throughout your home is one of the most wonderful and inexpensive ways to change your decor and add extravagant pops of vibrant color throughout. So today I wanted to share this easy DIY Wooden Flower Box I made that was also inspired by this gorgeous one I saw on Terrain.

The DIY wooden flower box on the dining room table.

It is more of an indoor flower box that can be used for faux flowers or can have vases with water placed inside. Either way, it would look lovely atop your tables or sitting by a window.

Here is how you can make one if you would like…

You will need:

Wooden slabs, clamps, glue to make the DIY wooden flower box.

  • A wooden crate (I used this older one I had from a project that I made last year over at Craftberry Bush). I still really enjoyed this crate with chicken wire, but also loved how long this crate was and since I had it on hand already – I decided to reuse this project for repurposing reasons.
  • Clamps
  • Wood Glue
  • 1/4 (give or take) wood pieces cut to the length and width of original  crate. (Please note, practice safety when using tools). I was able to find this wood at our local craft store.
  • Wax, stain or paint. I kept mine unfinished as that was the look I was hoping for but you could use these beautifully for another look.

Here is how you will assemble the wooden box:

Glue on a wooden board.

  • Begin by applying glue all over the surface you will be adhering the sized wood piece to. Make sure to follow and abide by all guidelines/instructions with whatever glue you may be using.

  • Next, press down the wood piece to the crate and clamp it in place until it dries.

All the pieces glued into place with clamps holding it together while it dries.

  • Continue to move around the entire crate until it has been covered by the 4 pieces of wood. Once the glue has completely dried you can remove the clamps.

And that is how easy this project is!

I have used it a couple times already… You may have seen it first here.

Truth is, the box works simply as all the botanical beauties do the talking, they are the statement.

I plan to use it for many more arrangements and throughout the home.

I hope you have enjoyed this little bit of floral fun today ;)…

Thank you very much for being here and I hope that the rest of your week is lovely all!

I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!

I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
