I found the cutest watering can wall hanging at a thrift store last month. It was painted in a beautifully distressed winter white color. I was excited about it because I paint galvanized watering cans and sell them on Etsy. It was simple and fun to make a DIY Christmas Floral Wall Hanging with all of my leftover Christmas and winter floral picks. Writing the same old tutorial-type blog posts can get boring, so I’ve been spicing them up a bit lately with stories and history. In this blog post I included pictures of places where I used each floral pick originally. It was fun to go down memory lane at the end of this crazy, 2020 year.

Materials for DIY Christmas Floral Wall Hanging

  • watering can wall hanging- Any type of wall hanging, wall bucket, or wall pocket would work.
  • variety of Christmas or winter floral picks
  • wired ribbon- I didn’t like the felt ribbon pictured, so I changed it to a snowflake wired ribbon midway through my project.
  • I did not use the pink ornaments pictured above.
  • fabric scissors
  • regular scissors
  • floral wire
  • wire cutters
  • lighter

Building Your DIY Christmas Floral Wall Hanging

First, add some greenery. Slip the picks into the wall hanging without glue. You will be able to use the wall hanging and the picks again in a different arrangement.
I used the same greenery picks in February 2019 for a March Garland and Mantel Scape. They are in the Camark art pottery pitcher.
Have fun with furry snowballs.
Fauna and Fur Valentine Decor
I used a Fur Snowball Garland in Fauna and Fur Valentine Decor. The poppy wall hanging was also a thrift store item.
Next, work in some plaid flowers. Use the wire cutters to trim each pick in this arrangement to the desired height. I placed the plaid flowers low and in front.
The plaid flowers were originally used in Old World Platters and Plaid Valentine’s Day Vignette.
Place the pine cone picks between the plaid flowers and the snowballs. This was my first time using the flocked pine cone picks.
Add some icy picks just behind the plaid flowers. I used the regular scissors to cut these because they are thin.
My Snowy Valentine Tablescape
The icy picks were perfect for My Snowy Valentine Tablescape last year.
Finally, make your arrangement stand out with a few antler picks.

Tuck in a few flocked, wintergreen pine branches.
The wintergreen pine branch picks were the highlight of the Chocolate and Chintz Valentine’s Day Coffee Corner.
