How To Make a DIY Tall Driftwood Orchid Glam Rustic Wedding Centerpiece

Directions:

STEP 1: Trim the wooden dowel down to 14 inches. Apply high-heat hot glue to the end of the 3/4 inch wooden dowel and then insert it into the center of the 3 inch glass candleholder. Let it dry for 15 minutes before you start adding your dula logs to the dowel.

Hot Glue the Logs to the Glass Candleholder

STEP 2: Cut 3 of the whitewash dula logs down to your preferred height. Apply high-heat hot glue to the ends of each log, one at a time, and then place them in the candleholder surrounding your wooden dowel. Also apply high-heat hot glue in-between the dowel and the logs so the logs stick to the dowel. You can view the video above to see this step.

STEP 3: Attach floral wire around the logs and the dowel to keep it all in place and let it all dry for 15 minutes. Once everything is dry, attach an additional 3 logs. Wrap floral wire around all the logs and dowel and let this also dry for 15 minutes. To ensure the candleholder does not fall over, add multi-color river rocks for stability.

Make the Moss Balls

STEP 4: Press two 1 inch and two 3/4 inch foam balls against the end of the logs to make an indention. This will help it attach easily once you glue your moss balls to it. Next cover them with elmer’s glue and then attach your green moss. Leave a few white spaces on the foam ball. Remove the cherry blossoms from the stem and then hot glue them to the white spaces. Make a total of 4 of these and attach them to 4 of the logs with hot glue.

STEP 5: Remove the inner lid from two of the mason jars. Next apply hot glue to the two remaining logs. Place the lids on each log and use a handy level to be sure each lid is level. Look at the bubble on the level, if it is in the center, you know it is level. The candles will sit on each lid so you want to make sure the lids are level.

THE FINAL STEPS!

STEP 6: Hot glue 8-12 orchid stems to the candler holder base and to the logs. Lastly, place the LED pillar candles on the two lids.
