DIY Floral Wall Clock
There’s this little boba shop near our house that has some fun DIY art on the walls, and one of the things they have hung up is a clock made out of fake leaves, with little tea cups marking each hour on the clock. The first time I saw it I was like, “Huh, cute idea, but those dusty plastic leaves are bumming me out.” And then the next time I saw it I was like, “How cool would that be if it were real flowers?” And Ryan was all, “Dude. Make it.” And I was like AAAAHHHHHH yes! Good story, huh? I knew we’d be working with Flower Muse soon and I was so excited to use their gorgeous florals to put this baby together. And that is how our DIY floral wall clock was born. I love, love, love it. Can’t you just see this thing gracing the wall at a spring party or shower? While I was making it, Ryan said something about how it would be perfect at a Cinderella-themed wedding. And while Cinderella-themed weddings aren’t necessarily my thing, you have to give the dude credit for having that in his brain.
Materials
- wire wreath frame
- floral tape
- clock movement kit
- cardstock
- double stick tape
- scissors
- florals and greenery – large flowers like garden roses and ranunculus, small pieces like billy balls, and leafy greens like ferns
- wall putty
- nail or hook
Make Time: 1 Hour
Step 1: Start by covering your wreath form with the greenery. One stem at a time, wrap the stem of the greenery and a section of the wreath form together so that the stem stays affixed. Work until the wreath is completely covered.
Step 2: If you like the hands on your clock movement, great! I wanted a more modern and colorful look for ours, so we switched it up. To do the same, cut two strips of cardstock — one long one for the minute hand and one shorter for the hour hand. Use double stick tape to affix the cardstock to the appropriate clock hands and assemble your clock movement according to the package instructions.
Step 3: Place a nail or hook in the wall where you’d like to hang your clock and hang the greenery-covered wreath. Start placing clumps of larger flowers around the clock where the 12, 3, 6, and 9 hours would be. You should be able to trim the stems to about 3 inches and just weave the stems through the wreath and greenery and have them hold. If you find that some flowers want to fall, use a bit of floral tape to affix a stem in place.
Step 4: For the smaller hours (1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11) place a small flower like a billy ball at each hour mark. Use the same technique as described in Step 3.
Step 5: Affix the clock movement to the wall in the center of the wreath using wall putty or something similar and removable. If desired, include a couple of smaller blooms around the clockwork to soften the look.
Eeeeeee it’s so pretty! If you leave the florals in water until just before you put this together, it should last about a day or so. If you want to put it together a day ahead, you could probably get away with it if you kept it refrigerated overnight — just be sure all of the flowers are affixed really firmly before you store it. And when you’re done with the clock, you can use the florals to do something like this! Sigh. I wish it could stay forever. Tick tock, ya’ll! xoxo

This is absolutely amazing! I think I would want to use faux flowers so that it would last me a bit longer but I love that you could redo this clock for any season and it would be perfect. Thank you for sharing!
