DIY Flower Bracelets
One of the other SUPER cute DIY flower projects that we did was the bracelet that Libby’s mother wore. A single stem wrapped sweetly around her wrist. It turned out so completely adorable and is a pretty simple, straightforward project to take on. Particularly when it comes to DIY flowers! We have both the pictorial instructions that Justin and Mary captured, as well as the video that Elysium filmed…so there is something for everyone’s learning styles. Thanks so much to Sarah True and Chase Rivers for dreaming up this little beauty.
OK. Now for the step-by-steps. We’ve included more pictures than are necessary just so that you can get a clear sense of how to craft these bracelets. You can really choose any hearty stem to use on these…you can even make it more elaborate by adding 2-3 flowers. They make for a perfect flower girl accessory or a mother-of-the-bride detail.
Materials
Flower of your choice
Pliers
Copper Wire (one thick, one thin gauge)
Floral Tape
Scissors
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun
1. Begin by taking copper wire and using pliers snip the wire to the desired length. Use the pliers to bend in the ends so that they are not sharp and wrap the wire with floral tape.
2. Next, wire your flower/s. To wire the flower select a thinner gauge wire so that you can get it through the throat of the flower. You want to form a hook on the end of the wire as you thread it through the center.
3. Cut the stem and the wire to approximately 1 inch in length. Wrap florist tape around the stem and the wire together. Start at the top and pull the tape while you twirl the stem. It should cover the stem and wire evenly and smoothly. Cut the tape and press against the stem so that it sticks.
4. Once you have the flower/s wired you can begin to attach them to your copper wire by twisting the wire around the bracelet.
5. After the flower/s are attached to the copper wire, begin to wrap ribbon around the bracelet to cover all of the tape and to secure your blooms. You can use a hot glue gun to secure the ribbon.
Easy as pie, right? Well, if you still need a little extra help, Julie over at Elysium sent us a video of the DIY project so that your project is super seamless. Here you go!

Pretty.
I adore the DIY's can't wait to see more.
Thank you for posting this! Can the flower bracelet be made the night before the event or should it be made the day of?
these DIY's are so amazing!! Thanks for posting!!
do I spy a yellow sweater sleeve???
I love DIY projects and when ever time allows I prefer to do the job my self. Mixing DIY projects into the event adds more memories and makes the wedding just that much more personal. An additional way to extend the savings on your DIY project is to purchase your flowers in bulk.
What an adorable 'trick'! Thanks for sharing.
Can you do this with fake flowers?
ужааааааааас
Oh so pretty! I want to wear one every single day! (but probably wont)
How long in advance can you make these? I wonder since the stems can't be put in water if they can only be made day of...
Hi. I love this but I would love to hear from anyone who has tried it. How long did it take to make one and would it last if made the day before the wedding? Thanks
What a gerat DIY flower idea for weddings! Easy to do AND memorable!
Great project. Thank you for sharing this.
If you do try this project it I would recommend using smaller flatter blooms that will sit nicely against the wrist, not some some clunky big rose like they used, that would not sit nicely on the wrist at all.
"They" as in "Me!" So funny that comments become more impersonal as time goes on. A flatter bloom would be beautiful, but honestly, ours turned out lovely as well!
