Easy DIY Home Decor – Potpourri Decoration

Get ready to get crafty with this project that takes LESS than 15 minutes and costs you LESS than 2 bucks! We’re going to create a small potpourri decoration in this DIY tutorial.

This is a quick and easy decorative piece for yourself, or someone you appreciate. Check out the steps below to create this potpourri decoration.

Note: This is not a sponsored post. I purchased all materials, and created this project on my own.

Materials:

• Glass container – $1.29 at Michaels with 50% off coupon (originally $2.69)
• Flowers, fresh or dried (I recommend using flowers and weeds from your own yard, reusing flowers someone gifted you, or asking Publix for old flowers they’re getting ready to throw away! Don’t buy them.)
• Optional, not required: Mod Podge matte glue at Michaels – $3.60 for 16 oz. with 60% off coupon (originally $8.99). This is great, quality glue that you can use for ALL craft projects.
  • Small stick or paintbrush to apply glue. I used a brush from this pack of 4. – $2.50 with 50% off coupon (originally $5)

 

 

 

Instructions:

1) Spread out dried flowers on an open surface, preferably a counter or desk.

 

 

2) Place each piece inside the glass as you’d like it to display. Add some of the colored flowers inside as a base, and then place a large amount of dull flowers on top of that for a colorful display. Alternate the placement so that the colored flowers appear on the outer corners of the glass in the end.

 

 

3) Shake the glass container, or use a straw to rearrange the flowers until you are satisfied.

 

 

4) Once the flowers are in place, use the Mod Podge to seal the deal (optional – skip to step 6 if you’d like!).

 

 

5) Dip the stick or paintbrush in Mod Podge, and apply a very small amount to surround the rim of the cork.

 

 

6) Put the cork in place at the top of the glass opening.
