How’s your summer going, friends?
I can’t believe we’ve had 4 glorious weeks of summer holidays. We’ve enjoyed every single day and have filled them to the brim with summer fun. There’s been days at the beach. Entire days around the pool. Camping. Seriously, don’t want it to end anytime soon!!
And then of course, there’s always time for a DIY or two!! A little while back I received these gorgeous florals from Afloral. I”m not sure about you, but this gal does not buy fresh flowers from the grocery store. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love flowers in our home, but I can’t justify spend $15-$20 for a fresh bouquet every few weeks.
But seriously, friends… have you ever heard of Afloral? Their greenery and flowers are so beautiful. They even have some that are called “real touch” and I’ve had more than one person actually touch ours to see if they really aren’t real! That’s how pretty and real they do look!
I decided to make a floral garland for our daughters’s room with some of the ones they sent me. I had bought my daughter this canvas art for her room but it needed something to go with it. And I’m so happy with how it turned out!
I’ll show you how easy it is to make your own…
- large Real Touch pink peony bloom
- peony bud (cream colored)
- boxwood garland (I didn’t use this one but wish I had ordered it!)
- glue gun and glues sticks
Making a floral garland is fun and easy because there’s no right or wrong way of making one. You can make it to fit your style and add as many or few flowers as you like.
I started by detaching the large peony heads and buds from the original stems. They are attached very well and you might think you can’t pull them off! But with some gently (but firm) tugging, they do come off. I placed them where I want on my garland at then using my glue gun I attached them to the garland. 
I think the peonies add such a pretty and feminine touch!
Now do me a favor and check out the beautiful blooms at Aloral and you can find them on Instagram too!
