How to Decorate With Dried Flowers

Display the dried flowers in a bowl in your china cabinet. Use flower colors that complement the colors of the china in your collection. Tie a ribbon around the bowl that matches the china and the flowers.

Make a wreath. Purchase a wreath form. Arrange the dried flowers around the wreath form. Secure the flowers to the wreath form with pins and tape. Add a small bit of spray adhesive to help keep the flowers from falling out. Tie ribbons around the wreath and flowers in a matching color.

Place the dried flowers on a mantelpiece. A mantelpiece is an ideal place to show off any pretty floral arrangement. Make sure that the flowers are far enough away from any fire that might be lit under the mantelpiece.

Attach dried flowers to a mirror. Dried flowers can be attached to the mirror frame with a hot glue gun. Small bits of dried flowers can also be attached to out the outer edge of a mirror that lacks a frame. The flowers can help give the mirror a border.

Make the flowers part of seasonal decorations. An arrangement of dried roses on the dining room table can help celebrate Valentine's Day. Dried lavender can bring in the colors of Easter. Mark the Fourth of July with dried red, white and blue flowers in the breakfast nook. Dried vivid yellow and orange leaves can add pizazz to a Thanksgiving table.

Create a table setting with dried flowers and candles. For example, glue dried flowers to the outside of a vase. Place the vase on top of a mirrored surface. Add lit candle votives. Scatter the dried flower petals around the surface of the mirror. Make sure that none of the flowers are near the candle's flames.
