MAKE IT // Flower Wall

This was incredibly fun to make.

I was commissioned to make a backdrop for a photo shoot and this is the result…
A flower wall!

You will need //

150 +  Artificial flowers
Wire snips
Hot Glue
Artificial ‘vines’

 ( I sourced from a wholesaler, but you can find these at your local emporium )

Pull off all the leaves from ‘vine’ , A lot of them they pop on and off, so you can attach other flowers of leaves there. I did mine in a Ombre effect, using yellows, to orange to pink to white.

Begin to attach flowers, weaving into the ‘vine’ and hot gluing when necessary.

Keep going! It takes a while, but is worth it!

Happy making!

Until next time.

Oversized tee, Tights, Oversized Mens shirt and boots. This tee in particular is my most treasured. A 3XL Harley Davidson Tee, with wolfs and bikers and a quote saying “Legends live where legends roam” Bloody brilliant.

It is always a good night when you get to shoot with one of your best friends.

Heather Liddell. She is a babe of a woman, an incredibly talented photographer, and someone I have the pleasure of working with and learning from at The Little Details

These are the moments. This is the reality behind the glamour.
