DIY Fabric Flower Containers...

Tips for the Budget Bride...

Sticking within your budget when planning a wedding is very important. There's so much you want to do and add but of course everything has a price. Here's a great tip to personalize your upcoming Spring / Summer wedding... DIY Fabric Flower Containers.


These fabric covered flower containers are super easy to make and very inexpensive. By going to IKEA and getting a container for $1, then adding fabric, you have an instant decor piece for your wedding. Pick the fabric, twine or ribbon, and flowers based on your wedding colors to make them completely custom. They are perfect for hanging on the chairs along the aisle.


Supplies: Bygel IKEA containers (only $1 each), spray mount, fabric, twine, scissors, and flowers.


Step 1: Cut a piece of fabric 14″ x 9″


Step 2: Using the spray mount, go outside and spray the entire IKEA container. Make sure to spray a little on the inside rim as well.



Step 3. Take your fabric and tightly wrap it around your container. Make sure to press the fabric firmly against the container and smooth out creases and air bubbles. Tuck the fabric at the top inside the container. Then cut off any excess in the back to make a smooth line.


Step 4: Add twine or ribbon by tying it around the “hook” on the back of the container.



Step 5: Add flowers!


It's a crafty way to make you're wedding extra special!

Happy Crafting!
