DIY Floral Backdrop

DIY Floral BackdropLadies and gentlemen, I deserve an award. Many of them actually. I have accomplished something that I wasn’t sure was possible, I have done the unthinkable.

I have gone into the dollar store…and only bought one thing! Yes. That’s right. I did what you all dream of doing.

Does it count that my one thing was actually a three pack?

DIY Floral Backdrop Ingredients

I have been seeing some floral backdrops online lately, and kept thinking the dollar store was the place to go. After cruising the faux floral section, I realized it might cost me a lot of money to do a small area. Then I cruised the summer section (I definitely was not looking for anything for myself). That’s when I found the leis.

They were perfect! I bought a three pack, went home, and whipped out my glue gun. I glued those little suckers (flowers. I mean flowers) all over a piece of 12×12 cardboard. I added glitter for my own piece of mine. Everything is better when it glitters, right?

I made a small version, so I could use it for ‘photoshoots’ for my blog. But you could make this as big as you want, you just won’t win the award for only buying one dollar store item. That’s a good thing too, because I want some time to enjoy my award before I pass it on.

  1. This is so cute!! I love making my own backdrop but the one I made back in April or May hasn’t been on my blog since I made it!! It actually needs new pictures glued onto it because they’re kind of fading and ripping away. 🙁

    This one seems like a good one! I have a HUGE cardboard that I’m planning on turning into a backdrop/random collage. I haven’t done a DIY project in a while and apparently I wanna go big for this one! Lol

    • Ohhhh you should totally do this! It was super easy!!! (And cheap! Which are the best two things) Haha!! Let me know when you do so I can check it out! 🙂

  3. Love this. Hard to go into the Dollar store and only spend $1. Never happens for me.

    • Exactly!!! That’s why I win the award! Haha. 🙂

    • Thanks!! Let me know how it goes if you make one! 🙂

  5. That IS great – too bad I can’t MAIL you the leftovers I have (from our company cruise). LOL Maybe I’ll use this idea and make a HUGE wall at work. 🙂

    • Oh my gosh that would be amazing! You should make a huge wall!!! I wish I had unlimited funds so I could make a huge flower wall. Haha…

  7. I’m so impressed! I can’t say I’ve ever done that anywhere!

    • Thank you sooooooooooo much!!! I love getting nominations! 🙂

    • Haha totally! That’s the way I like to DIY – SUPER easy! 🙂
