Summer Dahlia Garland

Summer Dahlia Garland

Dahlia’s are one of my favorite summer flowers. I love their bright colors and bushy blooms. Dahlia’s grow well in the Pacific Northwest and next year I am planning a special section of my garden to be devoted to Dahlia’s.

Today’s project uses Dahlia blooms strung from a cord and hung up in my front entry way. It’s a bright, festive way to celebrate summer. Check out how to make a fun summer dahlia garland.

Supplies

  • Beading wire.
  • Sewing needle
  • Dahlia blooms
  • Wall tacks

Thread the beading wire onto the needle and begin to push the needle straight through the center of each flower. I arranged my flowers by color for a fun ombre effect. The beading wire I used is made of stainless steel. It’s very strong which is important because the flowers can be deceptively heavy.

Tie a loop at each end of the wire and tie it to the wall tacks.

The garland will last about a day. Obviously, the flowers aren’t in water so they will wilt fairly quickly. If you are making this for a party, make sure you assemble it the morning of so that it looks fresh. What crafty projects are you up to this summer? Have a great weekend, Gnomies!

Hi, I'm Adrienne. My mission is to help women to tap into their creativity and gain the confidence they need to tackle DIY projects around the home. I want women to realize they don't have to "wait for hubby" to do renovation projects around the home. They can teach themselves how to use power tools and create a home of their dreams on a budget.
