How To Make Standing Floral Letters

I created these DIY standing floral letters for my niece. When Lily was born a few years ago, I wanted to make a personalised gift for her. I had seen flower letters online, and they were quite expensive to buy. So, I had a try at creating my own.

These standing flower letters look fab on a shelf, but I think this would make a fab wedding DIY too. It would be a cute idea to do the bride and grooms initials as a gift. There is nothing like giving a personalised gift to someone, especially one that you made yourself.

I will leave a YouTube video at the end of this post, showing you how to make the DIY standing floral letters. These DIY floral letters are a perfect afternoon DIY and only take an hour or two to make.

 

What You Will Need To Make Your DIY Flower Letters

MDF Letters – You can get these from Amazon. If you are in Ireland, you can get MDF Letters online from Evans art supplies. 

Glue – Here is a link to the glue I used. However, it has been hard to find this glue. My local craft shop used to sell it, but they have sadly closed.

Faux grass/moss and faux flowers – I got a huge bag of fake moss from my local craft shop when I did my floating teacup DIY, and I am using what’s leftover. Also, I got my faux flowers in different sizes from the local craft shop, and I got them in the bridal section. Here is a link to a bag of faux moss I found online. 

A tester pot of paint ( optional ) – I used some pink paint from an old tester pot I had. You could leave yours with the wood to give it a rustic feel or paint the letter in a colour of your choice. 

Let’s Get Making Your DIY Flower Letters

I started by painting my MDF letters. I painted them all over, including the front where I was putting the faux moss on. I painted the front just in case any wood would show under the moss. 

I then glued on my faux moss in small sections. This moss is easy to tear up into smaller pieces. 

Once my glue was dry, I then went in and added my flowers. I added the larger flowers first and then went in with the smaller ones. 

You can experiment with different colour flowers and even add in some jewels too. I let my letters fully dry, and then they were ready.

A Perfect Afternoon Project 

The floral letters are quick to DIY, and it only took me over an hour to make these. They make pretty presents, who doesn’t love a gift with their name on it. 

If you are going to put them into a nursery or child’s room, please be careful as these are not suitable as toys and will need to be kept up high and out of the reach of little hands.
