Cheap & Easy Queen Anne’s Lace Arrangement

Don’t you just love a great find? Well, as I was walking, I ran across a large field of Queen Anne’s Lace and Wild Ferns. They were along a creek bed and were flourishing. I couldn’t resist gathering a supply to make a wildflower arrangement.

Who could resist all these beautiful blooms? I couldn’t and I’m sharing how you can make a cheap and easy Queen Anne’s Lace Flower Arrangement with these wild flowers.

First, to assure your arrangement will last as long as possible, it’s important to gather your wildflowers in the early morning, just after the dew has dried on the plants. In addition, you need to place in water quickly to avoid wilting.

When I saw all these lovely wildflowers, I quickly ran back for a basket to gather my finds.

Supplies Needed To Make Arrangement

These free wild flowers would be great in any container, however here are the supplies I used to make this arrangement.

• Tobacco Basket Planter – a similar one
• 2 recycled tin cans
• Pruning shears

I had a fun tobacco basket planter that I had never used, so I decided it would make a perfect planter for these wildflowers. In order to provide water for the plants, it would be necessary place containers inside the planter. I save tin cans for projects like this one and have several to choose from.

Trim Excess Leaves and Stems From Queen Anne’s Lace

Determine the height you need your wildflowers to be by holding them up against your container. Then using pruning shears, trim excess stems and leaves from both the fern and Queen Anne’s Lace.

Use sharp pruning shears to make a clean cut.

You want to trim the leaves to allow the stems to fit into your water containers.

If the stems have been in water for some time, then you will want to make a fresh angle cut to the stem before placing in container.

Place Water Containers Inside the Basket

Place your basket in a secure position so it will not tip over and insert the tin cans with water.

Begin your Arrangement

First, add a few fern stems at the back of the containers.

Allow the fern to act as a backdrop for the Queen Anne’s Lace stems.

Next, begin to add in the Queen Anne’s Lace in front of the fern. You will want to vary the heights of your flowers. I like to place the taller stems at the back and the shorter stems are added as I move to the front of the arrangement. In addition, be sure to insert the stems into the water containers. It’s easy to miss the can of water, as the arrangement begins to fill up.

Finally, add more of your fern clippings to the front of the Queen Anne’s Lace flower and let it drape over the edge of the basket.
