Dried Flower Dome

The Chateau’s beautifully decorated mantelpiece is a key feature of every Strawbridge Christmas. This festive display combines homemade crafts with the Wallpaper Museum wallpaper for a striking centrepiece.

What You'll Need:

What You'll Need:

• Glass domes (old and new)
• A collection of curiosities (shells, dried flowers, feather)
• Dried moss (for the Dried Flower Dome)
• A hot glue gun and glue sticks

Step 1.

We used a shell-shaped vase bought from a charity shop and positioned it at the base of the dome.

Step 2.

Cut a square of chicken wire and crumple it into a ball. Stuff into a vase. This will help each stem stay in place as you arrange the dried flowers.

Step 3.

Start by placing two 'gestural' flowers to get a sense of the height. Place the glass over the display to check it fits nicely. Layer in more flowers to build a fun, organic arrangement.

Step 4.

Use dry moss to cover any visible chicken wire around the base. Place the dome over the top and voila!
