Flower in a Frame

I saw a cute idea for a wall decoration a while ago in a magazine (I think it was Creating Keepsakes) that was easy and inexpensive enough for me to actually do for my house.
I got the frame at IKEA – a 10″ square shadowbox for around $7. You can use the glass or leave it out, whichever you prefer. And I got the flowers at Roberts. You could use daisies or any other kind of flower – I like hydrangeas right now, but I could easily choose a different flower in a different color and swap it out for a change.
This is my kind of home decor project – cheap and easy. And nice. Flowers are always nice. Enjoy!

I love this idea.. fortunately there is an Ikea only 35 miles away from me. I’ll look for these frames the next time I head over there! Thanks for sharing the idea!
That is a beautiful idea!!!
I love it. I been wanting to do a shadow box for dried flowers that i have collected over special ocassions. I have also heard that ikea carries the cheapest shadow boxes. But we didn’t have one in memphis. We moved to Chicago recently, and my plan is to head to ikea once we get settled. thanks for inspiration.
That is a wonderful idea – a few of those even with herbs might be a nice touch for my kitchen.
What a great idea – I love the versatility of it. I can swap out flowers from season to season or room to room. Love the fact that it is also so simple and easy to do! Very important for me. :)
I saw something like this at Quilted Bear and tried to make it myself and I wasn’t happy with it. But it used flattened flowers. I will try this shadow box idea to see if I like the 3-d of it better. Thanks!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I never would’ve thought to turn the shadowbox in that direction…shows how limited I am sometime lol. Thanks for the simple & beautiful tip!
I love the look of the frame turned on its side (to make a diamond!) I am going to have to find a way to use that. Especially in my sons baseball themed room. (just without the flowers)
Wow! That is gorgeous, and SO EASY!
So I’m totally jealous that you live near an IKEA! This would be great for seasonal decorations as well… fall leaves, Christmas holly or Poinsettias… super cute and way $$$ practical.
I don’t live near Ikea (sure wish I did!), but I bet I could find something similar at Michaels and use a coupon. And silk flowers look so authentic now! This is a great gift idea, too.
