It’s no secret that we love flowers here at the studio. We would probably have them on every surface of the house if we could, so we are always looking for cute ways to display pretty petals. Here’s what we did to make one of our own:
Supplies:
-small vases (like these or these)
–twine
–metal robe hook (if you don’t already have a hook you want to hang your vases from)
To be honest, hunting for the exactly right vases took up the majority of the time on this project. You need vases that have thin necks with wider openings at the top (so the rope doesn’t slide off), and you don’t want them to be too big overall so that they don’t get super heavy once you fill them with water. Once I found the perfect vases, we installed a robe hook and tied a long piece of twine several times around the neck of each vase. I gathered all the strands together and staggered their heights before tying the group of strands to the robe hook. Once the vases were hanging, I poured in water with a measuring cup and added some pretty flowers to finish the look.
Once these flowers have run their course I can remove the stems, pour the water into a bowl, and pour the bowl down the drain—this way I don’t have to untie the vases to dispose of the water. Easy!
Isn’t it lovely? The hanging display adds such a colorful and friendly vibe to the kitchen wall, and I love how easy it was to put together. Think you’ll make your own? xo. Laura

And it looks gorgeous against the subway tile!
In a kitchen you could use it to help herbs last 🙂

I will definitely make my own! I love the ones from CB2 but I like this less permanent option because we’re renters. The less holes the better!
Yours looks even prettier than the one you almost bought!
This is so cute and simple! I have the perfect spot in my house for something like this!

This is so lovely, it looks so different!
But CB2 actually have vases that are for hanging and wall mounting….uhm, why not just purchase those? The twine is visually cluttering in my opinion.
In love!

Well, I know what my first post-wedding nesting project will be!
This would also be really cute to keep fresh herbs in.
And I know the World Market by my house has the perfect vases. YESSSSS
Such a nice DIY, great decor idea. Would love to make something like this. x

This is lovely! I did something very similar to this as decoration for my wedding, only outdoors on an arbour. I’m tempted to make an indoor one to remind me of the day!
this looks so pretty!

This is such a great idea! I’m definitely gonna try it!
This is gorgeous! I want one!
I agree, the one you made looks even better! I love that you can change the colors just by changing the flowers you use.
This is so cute! Thanks for sharing.
What a gorgeous idea! It looks so quirky and pretty, would really love to give this a go!

i love the mix of colors and vases!
when you have the water collected, why not toss it in the yard instead of down the drain? even if the yard is just covered in snow, it’s not like that water needs to be cleaned at a wastewater treatment plant.

Hi Jessica!
That part is more about arranging the flowers to tip one way or the other, once we hung the vases and filled them with water, they really don’t move at all 🙂

Each time I see a new DIY in your blog I think, well there’s not way the next one is better than this. And each time I prove myself wrong!
How do you come up with such amazing and easy to do ideas? Thanks you so much for sharing!
Have an amazing day 🙂

So pretty … especially against the white tile!!!!!
I love the idea but I would be so afraid they came from the awl down! xx

I love this! It’s so great to have pretty visual displays that don’t consume a sometimes desperately needed surface space.
Love this. Where did you end up finding the vases?
Beautiful! Almost like a work of art!
Oh this is such a wonderful idea!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the end result! And perfect for the warmer weather.

I have always loved hanging bud vases, i love how the combo of twine glass and flowers creates a modern but natural look. So pretty
This is so fun and beautiful, I’m fearful, tho, that it would not survive my children.
Lovely!
I love where you hung these! They are perfect for that empty space in the kitchen.
So pretty! What an interesting way to display flowers! 🙂
I absolutely love this idea! And the colors of flowers you chose are beautiful.
Me, too! But with vintage bottles and I’m thinking that I need to re-string them and add them to my wall now!
L O V E this idea, so beautiful, quirky and done with ease! ❤️
These are gorgeous! I’m thinking you could alternate pretty vases with jars, holding floating candles too – how lovely would that be? So tempted to try that out for a dinner party tonight 🙂
This is a wonderful and great way of displaying flowers! Perfect! 🙂

Oh my! I saw an idea like this in one of those first home decorating books…except it was a chandelier-type cluster hanging low over a dining table. It really anchors the space. I love this idea!
Wow..!! Such a lovely idea 🙂
