Materials You’ll Need
Before you dive into this project, gather the following supplies:
Unfinished Hexagon Box
Acrylic Paint: I'm using white acrylic paint for the outer surface of my box.
Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper: A floral design from Dollar Tree that sets a charming background.
Scissors: For cutting the wallpaper. You may need a craft knife to cut your craft block to size.
Craft Foam Block: For inserting the flowers into.
Hot Glue Gun: To secure your design elements in place.
Flower Accessories: Small decorative items that add extra charm.
Faux Flowers: Create a faux flower display.
Craft Moss: To mimic the lush greenery of a natural garden.
Tracing your hexagon box onto the peel-and-stick paper
Start by placing your box on the paper with the decorative side facing down. Use a pencil to outline the box on the paper.
Cutting out the shape
Next, use scissors to cut the shape from the peel-and-stick paper. After cutting the shape, adjust the edges using your scissors until it fits inside the box. Once it fits, remove the backing from the paper and insert it into the box.
Applying acrylic paint to the box
After inserting the paper, use a paintbrush to paint the box. I used white paint for mine, but you can choose any color you like.
Attaching the foam block
Now, attach the foam block to the bottom of the box using hot glue. I had precut the foam to fit my hexagon box, but you can adjust the size according to your box's dimensions.
Adding craft moss
Using hot glue, begin attaching the craft moss over the foam block. I placed the craft moss on the front side of the foam block.
Adding flowers and accessories
Finally, insert the flowers into the foam block. I selected a variety of flowers for the display and included flower accessories to complete the arrangement.
Find a spot in your home—a sunny kitchen corner, a breezy living room, near the front door, or a cheerful hallway—where this artificial hanging planter can be beautifully displayed.

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company. I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure! Watch the video tutorial Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home Items I'm adding to my table: -White tablecloth runner - Battery-operated leaf lights - Reusing glass jars - Mini pumpkins and other fall decorations - Small "Hello Fall" sign - Faux flowers I began by spreading my white tablecloth down the center of the table. Around Halloween, I purchased this tablecloth a few years ago at my local Walmart. After laying it out, I realized that I could ...
This fall, I wanted to challenge myself to decorate with just a few simple items—things most of us already have tucked away in our craft bins. With one round tray, a Dollar Tree lantern, a battery‑operated LED candle, a handful of faux florals, and a mix of Dollar Tree pumpkins, I created six different autumn looks. Each one feels cozy, seasonal, and unique, all without buying a bunch of new décor. My goal was to show how versatile your everyday pieces can be. By swapping out colors, textures, and small accents, you can build fresh designs that fit your style and your space. Watch the video tutorial Decorating Each Tray My First Tray: Classic Lantern & Autumn Florals For my first tray, I began by placing a round tray on a woven placemat to create a cozy base. Next, I placed the black lantern in the center and added a small LED candle inside. I figured this would provide a soft autumn glow that I love. I took yellow faux florals and arranged them around the lantern to brighten...

Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality.
