How to make a Hanging Tropical Foliage and Orchid Garland

If the previous floral garland isn’t quite right for your decor or event, then you might like this alternative. Mainly foliage with a few berries, twist willow, fairy lights and baubles filled with preserved hydrangea or woodland blended potpourri.vI am so pleased I came up with this combination!
I was looking for something I could use for Christmas decorating along with other events throughout the year. Once the base is in, you can change up the design by simply adding alternative foliage or focal blooms. This is what I call CLEVER DESIGNING - total impact with little effort!
Things to gather -
- Piece of wooden doweling or wooden rod or stick.
- Screw in hooks and eyes to suspend completed garland.
- Rope, chain or fishing line to hand garland.
- Staple gun or cable ties to fix materials into place.
- Foliage to suit. I used grape ivy, foliage garlands and large leaves along with berries, cymbidium orchid, twinkle fairy lights, plastic or glass baubles filled with foliage or woodland styled potpourri.

Wow, Astar! The way it looks on the table versus how it looks hanging is incredible! Definitely comes to life with gravity, haha! Really great! I could imagine someone trading flowers in and out all year long with this base! I do think someone should make green and brown cable ties for florists, though! Hope you’re having a nice 2024!

Hi Jesse, I absolutely agree. How hard would it be to have green or brown cable ties??? Maybe I should have a chat with some kindly soul. I made several of these as bases for upcoming events, and that's exactly what I'll be doing. Once the greens are in place, it's just a matter of swapping blooms in and out to suit. Warm regards Astar PS: I've got to share that this summer is the best in years. The weather is perfect with gorgeous warm days.

Agree so beautiful.. lots of coloured cable ties available if you don’t mind ordering from Temu.. unsure if they’re available more locally which would be ideal

Thank you once again for sharing. I will use this idea for an upcoming garden wedding. Just beautiful and Happy New Year to you.

[@themadplantist]

I love this! Stunning. Any reason to lift the eye and your heart! I also bought the baubles and put preserved moss in mine ❤

[@jazw4649]

I don't understand what the rope is for. Did I miss something? It's very pretty!

[@AstarsPlace]

Hello, I fixed the string/rope first so that it was all done ready to hang once finished. Far easier to do it first than when finished. However, if you have a support structure in which to suspend or hang, then just skip that step. Warm regards Astar
