Step-by-Step Instructions​

Preparing your wooden letter and styrofoam.

Step 1: Prepare Your Wooden Letter

  • If using floral foam, the finish of the wooden letter doesn’t matter since the foam will cover it.

  • Since I am using styrofoam I will be covering the styrofoam in adhesive backed moss before attaching the flowers.

  • If not using floral foam, consider painting the letter first to match your color scheme—this helps hide any gaps between flowers.


Step 2: Cut & Attach the Floral Foam
(Optional but Recommended)

You have two ways to attach the flowers:

With Styrofoam or Floral Foam (Recommended for Fullness & Flexibility)

  • Trace the letter on the foam using a sharpie marker.

  • Cut a thin layer of foam using a knife or styrofoam cutter to fit the letter.
  • Glue it down securely using a hot glue gun.

Without Floral Foam (Flat & Minimalist Look)

  • If using fabric-backed flowers, you can skip the foam and glue flowers directly to the letter for a sleek, flush finish.

Step 3: Cover with Moss (optional)

  • If you want added texture, cover the floral foam with adhesive-backed moss.

  • Press the moss firmly onto the foam to ensure it sticks, use a box cutter knife to remove the access.
  • If you prefer a cleaner look, you can paint the foam or leave it as is.

Step 4: Arrange the Flowers

  • The flowers we are using do not have stems, but if yours do, trim them down to about ½ inch.

  • Arrange the flowers on the letter before gluing to find a layout you love.

  • Mix different sizes and colors for a balanced, natural look.

Step 5: Attach the Flowers

  • If using floral foam, gently press the flower stems into the foam, securing with hot glue if needed.

  • If not using floral foam, glue each flower directly onto the wooden letter.

Step 7: Add Hanging Hardware & Mount

  • Use Command Strips for a damage-free mounting option.

  • For a permanent mount, attach hanging hardware or a sawtooth hanger to the back.


Tips & Tricks

  • Try different flower placements before gluing. It’s easier to adjust before making it permanent!

  • Mix in greenery for added texture and depth.

  •  Layer flowers for a 3D effect. Place some flat and others slightly raised to create dimension.

  • If using dark-colored flowers, consider painting the letter to match for a more seamless look.
