Turn Dollar Tree Wood Rings Into Stunning Hanging Floral Decor With A Simple DIY

Hanging decor is a fun way to add visual interest to any space, whether you are decorating for an event or just choosing pieces for everyday interior design. Floral designs, in particular, are especially lovely for adding pops of color and beauty to your decor. Unfortunately, finding the perfect hanging decor pieces to decorate your home with flowers can get expensive. If you want to spice up your decor with a gorgeous floral hanging piece, then it might be time to plan a trip to the nearest Dollar Tree and get ready for a DIY project that uses wooden circles to create a uniquely geometric floral piece that looks wonderful anywhere.

For this project, you need two identical wooden rings, spray paint in your choice of color, a Styrofoam ball, faux flowers, pipe cleaners, hot glue, and some thread or wire to hang your project when it is finished. If you cannot find wooden rings at your local Dollar Tree, you can find affordable bamboo ring options online, such as the Bright Creations Bamboo Rings — in this pack, you get 12 rings for about $12. Ordering rings online also gives you a larger range of size options, meaning you can make your decor pieces as large or small as you like. That way, your project perfectly fits an unexpected place you have not thought to hang your decor or anywhere else you choose. The other necessary materials can likely be found at any craft store for inexpensive prices, perhaps with the exception of the faux flowers, which may vary more in price depending on what you want.

Start by spray painting your wooden rings in your choice of color. Gold offers a classic glam look, but you can also go bright and bold. Once dry, place one ring inside of the other so they are perpendicular to create a round or ball-like shape. Next, poke a pipe cleaner through the Styrofoam ball, leaving excess pipe cleaner length on either side. Pull the pipe cleaner ends down, and twist it at the bottom of the ball. Use the excess to secure the sphere to the bottom intersection of rings inside the rounded shape. Poke your flowers into the sphere, securing them with glue. Using flowers and greenery in different lengths creates interest, but you can choose the floral pieces that achieve your desired look. Finally, use a piece of thread or wire to hang your finished project. For a lovely, rustic look, skip the paint and use twine to cover the loops and to hang the finished product.

It's easy to elevate the look of the project. The largest impact will be from changing the floral centerpiece. Implement some game-changing tricks that make artificial flowers look real, and look for faux plants with hanging, vine-like designs that can elegantly drape out of the sphere. Gently dust your faux flowers regularly, and keep them out of direct sunlight and away from water to keep them in prime condition. Also, make sure your Styrofoam ball is fully covered or that it is green or another dark color. Trading the pipe cleaner and just using glue or a less visible wire option will also make the project look neater and more polished.
