Hi friends and Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the Pinterest Challenge!! If I am so glad you’re here! If you are visiting from my friend Renee’s blog, Peacock Ridge Farm, welcome!

What is the Pinterest Challenge?

This Pinterest Challenge is hosted by creative and talented friend Cindy of CountyRoad407.com. Each month one inspiration photo is chosen and each of the participating bloggers use that photo to recreate something similar, but in their own personal style.

Our Inspiration

This month’s challenge is all about boxwood. Our beautiful inspiration comes from Courtenay at The Creek Line House. In her post, Courtenay shares how to make a wreath using fresh boxwood. What a beautiful way to greet guests!

Floral Wall Basket with Boxwood

Boxwood is one of my favorite greens. It is classic, timeless, and can be used throughout the year. I am fortunate to have a large boxwood hedge in my front yard and often use cuttings from it to decorate my home. However, I have recently been cleaning out my craft supplies and found some artificial boxwood. I decided to use it in today’s craft project.

I love making homemade wreaths like this floral summer wreath, this spring tulip wreath, and this dried hydrangea wreath. But instead of making a wreath, I used what I had on hand to create this floral wall basket with boxwood. This hanging wall basket with boxwood and florals is perfect for adding a fresh and unique touch to your home. 

The best part is that this project is so simple to make and there is no glue involved. You can simply change out the florals and ribbon to update this basket for each season.

As I said, I cleaned out my craft supplies, so I did not need to purchase anything. The galvanized basket I used is the same one that I filled with fresh flowers when I recently added some simple patriotic decor to my porch.

• wall basket

How to Create a Floral Wall Basket with Boxwood

First, place the floral foam inside the basket.

I used the filler, thriller, and spiller method of filling a floral basket, similar to how you would plant a container garden.

Using the floral wire cutters, cut the artificial boxwood and push the stems into the floral foam. This will be your filler.

Next, cut the flower stems and push them into the floral foam. These are your thrillers.

Then, cut the seeded eucalyptus stems and push them into the floral foam. Bend the stems so they spill over the side of your basket. This is your spiller.

If you would like, tie a simple bow with ribbon. Add a piece of floral wire to the bow and press the wire into the floral foam.

Hang and enjoy!
