Equipment

  • Drill and corresponding drill bit
  • Wire cutters
  • Scissors
  • Pliers

Ingredients

  • 1 Wooden frame with chicken wire stapled to the back
  • 4 screw eye hook
  • 4 screw cup hook
  • 1 picture hanging wire
  • Fishing line
  • Wire loop clamps  This kind or this kind
  • Wholesale flowers

Instructions

  • Once you have the wooden frame and chicken wire portion constructed, drill a hole in each of the corners on one side of the frame.
  • Screw an eye hook into each corner to be able to attach the picture wire.
    Measure how far down you’ll need the structure to hang from the ceiling. (Ours hung 2 feet from the ceiling.)
  • Loop the wire through and make a tight knot on one of the hooks, and wrap the excess wire around the loop and around the remaining wire until it’s secure.
  • Measure two feet of wire from the top of the hook (as opposed to pre-measuring and accidentally making different sized knots), leaving yourself about 4-6 inches extra to make a loop on the end.
    Repeat for all 4 corners.
  • Once you have the hooks in place, use the wire loop enclosures to make a loop at the end of each corner to hang to structure evenly.
  • Screw the other 4 cup hooks into the ceiling equal distance to where each of your four corners of the structure will be placed, and suspend the loops from each.
  • To hang each stem, simply wrap and knot the fishing wire to the end of each flower. Wrap and knot them tightly, but not so tight that it cuts through the stem.
    Hang each stem from the chicken wire by the other end of the fishing line, placing them sporadically as you go.
