Cut Out + Keep

Bamboo Sunflower

This project was so quick and easy. It took me under 10 minutes to make from start to finish and only required a handful of zipties, twine, a small grapevine wreath, sisal rope and scissors.

A few months back I found a pile of bamboo plate chargers for .25 cents at our local ReStore. I knew I could do something with them, I just didn’t know what at the time. So, of course, I bought them and put them away for almost 6 months

    This Bamboo Sunflower was so quick and easy. It took me under 10 minutes to make from start to finish and only required a handful of supplies - my kind of DIY!

    .25 cent chargers - can be found at ReStore, Goodwill, Dollar Store or any big box stores!

    First, I laid out my bamboo circles in the shape of the Sunflower. After slightly overlapping each one, I attached the overlapped chargers with a ziptie.

    These aren’t heavy, so a small ziptie is perfect.

    Once the outside of the Sunflower was put together, I attached another bamboo circle for the middle. I flipped it backwards so it would stand out from the outer layer. This was attached with a ziptie as well.

    I used a piece of twine run through and knotted around one of the chargers to hang.

    Next, I added the grapevine wreath to the middle. You guessed it – zipties! At this point I thought I was done. It was cute, but I felt like it just needed something more.

    I added a section of sisal rope for a whimsical stem and it was perfect!
