An antique hydrangea frame with an elegant touch of glamour.

You’ll use a wooden photo frame, artificial flowers, resin parts, and an organza ribbon.

First, visualize where you want to arrange the hydrangeas on the frame.

Once the design is set, cut off just the flower heads from the artificial flowers and attach them with a hot glue gun.

If the flowers look too artificial, adding resin parts to the inside of the blossoms helps.

Use the organza ribbon as an accent, too.

One key tip is to keep the colors consistent.

If you want warm tones, stick to warm colors; if you prefer a cool look, use plenty of white and silver—decide on a motif and color scheme so it doesn’t end up looking cluttered.

Sprinkling in nuts or leaves could be a nice touch as well!
