DIY Dried Flower Christmas Tree

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Join me as I build my very first dried flower Christmas tree! Here on our farm, we grow mountains of flowers, which I have been drying and saving all summer long, to have beautiful bright and homegrown flowers during the cold and dark winter months. So pulling them out, and celebrating them with a dried flower tree installation seems like the perfect DIY project during this quiet month before the growing season begins again on the farm. Hopefully, you can gain some tips from watching me experiment and learn about putting together the tree. And let me know what you think of the finished project!

If I were to attend a Christmas Eve service and reflect on the Glories of a Divine Creator, this is the tree I would prefer upon the dias. The beauty of God' s nature, combined with your talent and passion for your work , are more dazzling to me than all the shimmer and gold one can offer. You have given me beauty and joy for this special season. May it return to your family ten fold.
It looks stunning!
I’d offer this as a hotel decoration thing where they would need to provide an undecorated tree and book a put up and take down date (charge extra to go take it down). Offer like 5 of them, market it as supporting a local business, and charge around grand for a 6’ tree. A florist would charge WELL over a grand.
Fantastic idea!
The dried flowers would need to be much higher quality to demand that price point.
@@plot10homestead58 well she can use the silica dried flowers
@@plot10homestead58 Or they could use just certain ones that dry true to their shape etc
I think a rental would be good. That way you can reuse the flowers later.
If you do a Christmas market next year, you should do miniature trees (like one foot ones)
Absolutely! If she could do one for $30 that looks good, they would fly off the shelves, I think.
And they don’t necessarily have to be for Christmas, I’d like a miniature one too.
It’s AMAZING!!!! I’m now imagining you re-inventing it for every season! Like maybe taking out some of the yellow and adding some reds for Valentine’s Day, then changing it up again for Easter etc!
Serena: That tree looks AMAZING! Perhaps reach out to retail stores next year for custom builds at their specific locations! $$ :)
Dried flowers in wreaths next!? I can't wait to dry flowers next year! Thanks for sharing 👍 you have so many beautiful flower varieties on your gorgeous farm!
🎄 Merry Christmas! ❤
Serena you are a true visionary. By far one of the most beautiful trees I’ve ever seen. 👏
Have you seen her dried flower christmas baubles, hot cakes if every I saw one.
Very pretty! We have a museum nearby, called Winterthur, that does a dried flower tree every year with flowers they have also grown on site.
Love Love Love LOVE!!!!!💛💚🤎💖♥️ This Tree!!!! Makes me want to grow more to dry more just to do this!! Would so get me through winter & Yes could definitely leave up longer past Christmas!!! Maybe even a few dried orange and lemon slices….? Beautifully Brilliant Idea!!🤗🥰
I was thinking you guys should make your wreaths with the dried flowers. I would definitely buy that to hang on my door.
I have to admit that I was REALLY REALLY skeptical when you started with those browns and yellows. Then you made me gasp in disbelief when you followed it with the pink. But it turned out ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
I also especially thought that the sedum wasn't a good idea until you put them on the tree. Then I realised that I didn't have the vision that you had
Ooh I don’t know if you have access to any grapevine but a garland made of grapevine would look awesome too!
What a great idea! Genius. You could do wreaths to match? The sky's the limit.
Wow! Your dried flower tree is gorgeous! Great job! 😍 Thank you for putting it together, and sharing it with us!
Admittedly, I was skeptical at first, but I love it!! It is beautiful!
I LOVE it!!! 💚🌲...and not even halfway into the video yet...Don't forget to hit that like button all you lovely viewers! Loving all you share from North Idaho zone 6a 🌿
Serena, I FREAKIN' LOVE this tree!!! Just watched video for second time at 1:00a.m.!!! Honestly one of my favorite project videos that I have ever seen you OR ANYONE else do. Really, really cool. Thanks! Must get back to sleep now, lol!
beautiful tree, people who are well off would pay lots of money to have a tree like this.
I think the wreathes you made should have included more of your flowers and with this time of year fragrant herbs would be wonderful.
Since they are perennials both rosemary and sage would be fabulous because they are truly no fuss plantings and either one would make fabulous wreathes even without pine. That way you could have three optional scents or even a 4th option of mostly pine or fir with some sprigs of herbs to add to the scent for your wreaths and while not a big fan of the browns (but that tree looks amazing with them. But then add some dried flowers.
It wouldn’t be the same old (yawn) wreathes. They would smell fantastic and with those beautiful splashes of color and it would definitely establish your wreathes as different. You could also continue making bouquets using lots of the holiday greenery with some of your more beautiful flowers
You’ve definitely got a feasible seasonal business idea there 🎄
The tree is absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful! I would want to leave it up for Easter!
you should have 4-5 of these trees at your last farmers market- for the early tree lovers!
Beautiful you could offer a dry flower kit to do each size tree x
That is absolutely beautiful! Makes me want to do a small centerpiece size version. Matbe next year. I think you should keep it up at least until spring.
Looks great! You did an amazing job. 👏
This is absolutely beautiful, love this very much. Thanks for being such an inspiration . Happy Christmas!
Amazing, christmas tree
It's beautiful! I've been thinking of making three-bud Christmas tree picks from dried roses to add to my tree. Maybe when I've got enough dried flowers to cover a whole tree I'll try it!
Wow! Serena you are truly gifted, an inspiration! You know wedding planners will snatch up your idea.
You mentioned the caution for the lights and your flower design talent looks professional 💚
Absolutely Amazing! Love, love, love! Do more of these types of videos!🥰👍👏😊💚
Soooo pretty!!
Some dried flower bouquets sellers use hairspray to keep the flowers from falling. I was wondering if there's a natural alternative to that method.
I was thinking the same thing. I know there is a product called wilt stop that garden answer talks about for greenery to keep it fresher that is made from pine resin. I don’t know the ingredients or if it would work on dried flowers.
@@meagantrout2127 it works on dried flowers
@@meagantrout2127 oh wow...let me research that.. tyvm
Beautiful! Just Beautiful! Serena you're amazing, your choice of color and varieties for each plant is impressive. I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
BEAUTIFUL!! I love your creative eye!
Fabulous tree, battery operated lights would probably be the best/safest option.
Beautiful idea! Nicely, done!! 👏🎄🌻🌸🤩
I would definitely leave the tree up through-out the winter; gorgeous! I will be keeping more of my dried flowers.
Interesting and very pretty but not Christmassy for me.
The most unique Christmas tree. Its awesome!!!!!
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!! Great job!
It looks magnificent. I would leave it up all winter too 😀
Would love to see this done with more christmas color schemes... Like gold and red and white ...its so pretty tho !
Very beautiful,amazing🤩
This is awesome! It looks like it should be in an ornate Victorian house!
This is absolutely stunning, how wonderful and festive! ❤ 🎄
Wow that’s so beautiful 💐🎄
The bright colours of your dry flowers are amazingly beautiful. I've never known dry flower could be that nice. Love the larkspur the most!
I love it .. sooo unique and so beautiful! nice job ....
Love the tree! It's beautiful!
This is amazing 🤩. Fills my gardener's soul. Thank you.
Happy Christmas Love the tree💐
Looking good great ideas, I love the tree
I made a stick tree and decorate for all the holidays. Love your video! Happy Holidays
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL !!!
LOOKS AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ugh. Now I want a flower tree😂
It looks so beautiful!!
Trees look beautiful
Such a beautiful idea!
Absolutely beautiful
This is absolutely lovely!
Your tree looks amazing! One year I didn't feel like digging out the tree decorations so I bought a little 3ft real tree and some lights then just walked around my yard picking things to put on the tree. Grass plumbs, hydrangea heads, rose hips, small tree branches, etc. It was so much fun. 🙂
Would love to see a picture of your tree.
What a great idea. I bet it did look amazing.
The outcome is just superb, what a colorful Xmas trees...it simply brings joy and happiness to look at. Well done, such an inspiration for many use of dried flowers 💐 👏 👌
I love your sweater
That is stunning! I think that is the perfect tree to keep up all winter at least!
I love this!!!! I think I'm officially through all your videos- been on a YCETG binge for 3 days now- thanks for keeping me entertained while doing chores!!
Sooo beautiful... totally trying this next year!
It looks great!!
Looks very nice thanks for sharing 👌🌲😍
Its a good Idea for your stand with a smaller tree !!
Absolutely STUNNING!!!!!! Love your channel , all the way from Ottawa, Ont 🎄🙏🏻🇨🇦🙌
Lovely tree. What a great idea! Now I am planning flowers to dry this summer.
Hi guys, what about making dried flower arrangements or wreaths for spring, summer and fall for entrance doors? With beautiful ribbons? Or other ready to display home decorations e.g. in nice pots ? Love your videos!
Hmm. I wonder if you could get a good deal on artificial garland/greenery in post-holiday clearances, do you think it could be profitable to plan for this type of wreath or garland next season? You've done such a great job of curating your supply for fresh and dry arrangements. And you've done so much research into what sells and what doesn't. You would know better than any of us what would be profitable in your local market.
That tree is so beautiful. And unique! I love that you're planning this far ahead, and I can't wait to see what you decide to sell next!
My sister in law has tons of that puffy grass seed head at her place and I've never even considered putting it into the tree. What a great look for a woodland theme. Or with glitter sprayed on.
😲😲😲😲 wow!!! I've never seen such a beautiful tree!! You should be selling a few small size trees😍😍😍
That tree? Nothing less than $500.00 And I don't have a clue how much to charge!
Absolutely beautiful! Awesome job, Serena! Greetings from Texas!
Looked Good!
I agree with the person who says you should make miniature trees for sale.
Think you should start projects like this for the beginning of November/ December so people could enjoy the effect for longer.
Shop Window displays would be Great.
Be prepared for Orders... Sell, Sell, Sell ✴️💖✴️💖🎊
Enjoyed watching you play with the flowers, relaxed, no time or selling pressure:))) Personally, I would prefer less yellow, but degustibus.....
Absolutely gorgeous 🎄🌼🎄🌸
I love it 😍
Gorgeous!!!! I’ve never seen anything like that.
So wonderful and eco friendly and unique 👍🏻😍
And next year you can add allium seed heads too :D
Spectacular! Worth a grand? Maybe, but it might be a tough sale. It's sad of the better things in life aren't economically viable to produce.
It's so timeless! I love it! 🌼
So pretty I want to do this next year 😍😍😍 (🤔🤔🤔🤔I'll have to start drying flowers)
Wonderful! If that was in my clients flower shop in Clayton, Mo....thousands for sure! Great work!
It turn out beautifully! Good job!
That’s the most beautiful Christmas tree I’ve ever seen… and I’ve been to Buckingham palace…
I enjoyed this project! I got all excited with creative ideas such as table top miniature Christmas trees for smaller homes and apartments ! Countless crafting projects to consider. Worth looking into! Wish you the best for all your hard work!!
My first thought for the value of the tree was 1,200 US. Never thought of or ever seen a dried flower Christmas tree. Spectacular!
The tree is pretty Serena! I think the flowers would look really pretty on a white tree, too. Maybe you could do smaller trees to make them more affordable? I hope you don't take this wrong but I think you could benefit from taking some classes or watching tutorials on floral design, too. I know flowers aren't your passion and growing food is but you do seem to be warming up to the flowers!!! I wish you all the best and much success in the future! I really admire your work ethic 😀
So pretty. Forget doing events. I helped organize events for 20 years before I retired and it is stressful - so save yourself some stress. However, you could use your creativity and abundant dried flowers by offering mini tabletop dried flower trees any time of year. I wonder if those would sell at your winter holdiay farmers market or at your stand. I know I would purchase one and it would lower the price a bit if they were much smaller - definately a keeper! You're so talented.
They would look great in antique stores and commercial places, shopping windows 👍
I think you have the BEST photography on You tube. Someone has a really good eye! Merry Christmas.
Stunning! I have never seen a flowered Xmas tree! That would sell for big bucks!
I did a floral tree this year and I want my tree up past Mother's day ☺️ 💜
Thank you for sharing
I always love your stuff, and this is a nice idea but the "half petals fallen off sunflowers" cheapen the look of it. That completely ruins the tree for me. If you like the brown of the sunflowers then I would take the leaves completely off ... Either display the sunflowers with all of their petals but if some of the petals have fallen off then either toss them completely or take the petals off completely and then use them for the brown like you mentioned.
