DIY Geometric Hanging Floral Arrangements
Create stunning DIY Geometric Hanging Floral Arrangements using fresh flowers styled in modern cube pendants. This step-by-step tutorial covers the materials and tips you need to make eye-catching hanging floral decor for parties, weddings, or home styling.
As promised, we finally put together the tutorial for the geometric floral pendants from our Palm Springs inspired tablescape. If you’re looking to create a statement-making centerpiece, these DIY Geometric Hanging Floral arrangements are the perfect blend of modern design and romantic styling.
These fresh flower arrangements are suspended in handcrafted cube frames, creating a light, airy look that’s ideal for weddings, bridal showers, parties, or elevated home decor. This step-by-step tutorial walks you through how to make geometric floral pendants that look high-end but are surprisingly achievable with simple materials.
While the finished geometric hanging flowers may look intricate, the process itself is very approachable. Each floral cube is built from wooden skewers and designed to hold fresh florals, giving you endless flexibility with flower choices and color palettes.
The real magic happens once these hanging floral arrangements are up in place, especially as the light softens toward sunset. Their whimsical, romantic feel makes them especially perfect for DIY wedding decor, outdoor receptions, or styled photo backdrops. You can make as many geometric floral pendants as you need to fill your space, mixing sizes for visual interest and maximum impact!
Materials Needed
- Wooden skewers: Decide on size first. Cutting and planning your skewer lengths ahead of time makes assembly much easier. For reference, our large pendant measured 12 inches on all sides, while the smaller version was 6 inches. We used 24 wooden skewers for the 2 installations.
- Floral tape or floral wire
- Fishing wire
- Floral shears: You may use household scissors but floral shears provide more clean, precise cuts without crushing delicate stem tissues.
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Greenery: Starting with greenery helps anchor the flowers and creates a fuller, more natural look.
- Flowers: Courtesy of our friends at Flower Muse. Mind the weight of your floral selection. A mix of heavy and light flowers are ideal. For heavier flowers, space them evenly and reinforce with floral wire.
How to Make DIY Geometric Hanging Floral Arrangements
1 — Build the geometric frame:
Hot glue 5 wooden skewers together to form a square with one diagonal support in the corner. This creates one side of the geometric floral pendant.
2 — Repeat for the second side:
Make a second identical square using 5 more wooden skewers. These two squares will form the sides of your hanging floral arrangement.
3 — Assemble the 3D cube:
Use additional wooden skewers to hot glue the 2 squares together, creating a three-dimensional cube shape. Allow the glue to cool completely so the frame is sturdy.
4 — Add extra structure (optional):
For a fuller look and more places to attach flowers, hot glue extra diagonal skewers inside the cube. This step is optional but recommended for larger geometric floral pendants.
Tip: Let glue fully set. Rushing this step can weaken the frame. Give each joint time to cool.
5 — Attach greenery:
Use floral tape to secure small pieces of greenery to the wooden skewers. Start evenly around the frame to create a balanced base for the fresh flower arrangement.
6 — Add fresh flowers:
Fill in empty spaces with buds and blooms, attaching them with floral tape or floral wire depending on the weight of the flowers. Rotate the pendant as you work to keep the arrangement even.
Tip: Check weight and balance. Avoid adding too many flowers in one area. Too much weight can cause the wooden skewers to bend or weaken once the floral pendant is hanging.
7 — Hang the geometric floral pendant:
Cut a length of fishing wire and double-knot it securely to one corner of the cube. Hang your finished DIY Geometric Hanging Floral Arrangements and enjoy it at your next event or evening soiree!
The larger pendants take about 1.5 to 2 hours to make. However, the smaller cubes come together much faster! So it’s easy to create a full hanging floral installation at your own pace.
