Cheap 15 minute DIY flower drying rack

Hello, lovely people!

Today I’d like to share one of my favourite recent home decor projects: A DIY flower drying rack.

Here’s why I love it:

1. It’s easy to make. It involves just three steps. All of which are “tie a knot”.
2. It’s cheap to make.
3. It’s pretty and practical. While the flowers are drying, you can use it as wall decor. When they’re done, you’ll have a bunch of dried flowers to use in various craft projects.

Supplies list:

• A branch. I chose a branch that was a bit curvy to aid air circulation, which helps the flowers dry out nicely.
• Thick rope. I used jute rope, but sisal rope would work as well.
• Jute twine.
• Scissors.
• Freshly picked flowers.

Instructions

I began by tying the flowers into bunches, leaving a little excess rope on them, like so:

Once the flowers were tied into bunches, I moved on to making the flower drying rack itself.

I used a standard knot to tie the jute rope to the end of the branch, leaving a little ‘tail’ free.

I then wrapped jute twine around the rope and the ‘tail’. I tied a few knots in the twine as I went to make sure it wasn’t going to fall apart after a minute.

I then did the same thing on the other side of the branch.

With the flower drying rack finished, I tied my bundles of flowers to the branch. I left a little bit of space in between bunches to allow air to circulate freely as the flowers dried.

And that was pretty much it.

I ended up hanging my flower drying rack above my couch. I love having the smell of eucalyptus and lavender in my living room.
