One of the things that make hosting a backyard luau so much fun are all the tropical decorations!
This is a quick, easy tutorial for making an artificial Hawaiian flower wreath. If you’re hosting your own luau this summer and need some more decorations, this might be just the thing!
We’ll go over how to make one from scratch, using inexpensive materials that are available at most craft stores.
You can also use any leftover flowers from another project or event too – it’s all about getting creative with what you have around the house!
Hawaiian Party Decorations FAQs
If you want to DIY luau decorations for a party, there are tons of fun options. For centerpieces, you can create paper pineapples or palm trees. And you can also make paper flower leis to hand out to guests (or have that be a kids craft project during your party).
I think it all comes down to tropical decorations, Hawaiian food, and Hawaiian music. If you really want to go all out, you can hand out leis, hire a hula dancer to perform, and offer some fun outdoor games.
You can use a wreath container if you are worried about it getting smooshed. Otherwise, you can place it in a plastic tub with your other luau decoration.
Tropical Flower Wreath Supplies:
- Wreath Ring (at Walmart it comes in a 3 pack, or try Joann fabrics, you can buy them singly there)
- Palm Leaves (The ones I used are from Michaels)
- Pink Hibiscus Flowers (I found these at Michaels)
- Scissors
- Floral Tape (I got this at Dollar Tree)
- Wire Cutters
- Hot Glue Gun
How to Make a Hawaiian Flower Wreath
Using the wire cutters, carefully and neatly clip 4 pieces of palm leaves. Leave a couple inches so you have some to attach them on either side of your metal hoop for decoration!
Next, you’ll want to remove the hibiscus flowers from the stems (they will easily pop off)!
Then, cut about 6″ long sections out of floral tape that will go around your stem in order to hold it together more securely.
Start by wrapping one layer tightly around the stem of your palm leaf (the part without any leaf).
Repeat this process with the remaining 3 palms leaves. You’ll want 2 leaves on each side of your wreath.
Finally, apply some hot glue to the bottom of each of the 3 hibiscus flowers and place them in between the palms on the metal hoop.
Remember to allow for them to fully dry before hanging on the wall.
Wrap Up
Now you can create your very own backyard luau or Moana-themed party by making a flower wreath. This is as easy as it gets–you don’t need any special skills, just some time and the right supplies!
So grab a handful of artificial flowers from your local craft store (or order them online) and get started on this Hawaiian floral project today.
