Create a modern, flower-filled backdrop that will be the perfect scene setter for your next event! We designed this simple and chic DIY backdrop to add the perfect pop of color to our recent Marigold and Poppy Wedding! Here's how we did it.
Begin by painting the Flower Placemats in gold acrylic paint. Allow to dry.
Cut a piece of Yellow Tissue Paper into a 3" strips and then fold it accordion style until you have one, layered square. Staple directly in the middle of the square. If you're going for a larger flower you'll just make your strips larger than 3".
Trim the edges of the square to turn it into a circle. Cut slits around the entire circumference of the circle and then fluff to make a beautiful, paper marigold flower.
Use a Glue Dot to adhere the tissue paper marigold to the center of the painted placemat.
Use another Glue Dot to adhere the placemat to your wall and then tuck in small sprigs of Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.
Repeat these steps with as many Placemats needed to fill in the space of your wall and then add in a few faux poppy flowers to complete the look!
