Hanging vases for cut flowers
If you like the idea of cut flowers for summer decoration, you can make a garland out of hanging glass vases. It can be hung anywhere and decorated with seasonal flowers.
This idea does not require any great technical skill. So you'll need some vases that have thin necks with wider openings at the top (so the string that ties them doesn't slip off). These shouldn't be too big either so that they don't become too heavy when you fill them with water. Otherwise, the procedure is simple - you first attach a coat hook to the wall, pillar or where you want to hang the vases. Next, tie a long piece of string around the neck of each vase several times, then gather all the strands together and stagger them in height before tying the group of strands to the coat hook. After the vases are hung, pour water with a measuring cup and add some pretty flowers to complete the look.
You can make beautiful hanging decorations with metal rings, for examplepretty door wreaths. Here you will find another idea that looks very simple but original.
The metal ring is first cut in one place with wire pliers. Then a block of wood is drilled with the drill and pushed onto the metal ring. The two ends of the metal ring are then tied back together with a piece of adhesive tape. Then take a small square of wood that is the same size as the block of wood and attach it to the back of the block of wood with two rubber bands. Finally, a flower with the stem is attached between the wooden block and the wood chip and the flower is centered in the middle of the ring. You can then hang the hanging decoration anywhere to beautify it.
Summer hanging decoration in boho style
The boho style is also wonderful for summer decoration. Anyone can imitate this stylish boho hanging decoration. All you need is a small wooden round stick, some leather cord and some feathers. First, you should double-tie each end of a piece of suede cord to each end of the round stick. The decorations are hung on this. Next, tie each feather to a piece of leather cord and tie the other end of the cord to the wooden stick until the stick is filled with string. The lengths of the cords must be adjusted so that the feathers hang symmetrically.
