Geraniums grow like weeds, here at StoneGable. I love love love them! They are the stars of my outdoor pots with their big bursts of color and showy leaves. I crave their color inside too, but geraniums don’t thrive very well inside. Not a problem, I have a very easy and quick way to bring this bright and happy plant indoors. Let’s create a summery faux bloom in a pot!
It’s 10 MINUTE DECORATING… THE FLOWER AND POT SUMMER EDITION! Make sure you visit my blogging friends at the bottom of this page for some great, easy summer inspiration!
Creating pretty blooms in aged pots is so easy and they look very real too!
The geraniums sit in front of the window in my breakfast nook. I caught them with the sunlight streaming through them!
Here’s how easy it is to make these SUMMERY BLOOMS IN POTS…
Material:
- clay pot
- oasis styrofoam
- faux blooms on one stem
- green craft moss
I had an old pot that I had aged a few years ago for this little project. I cut the oasis with a serrated knife a little bigger than the pot opening. Then I squeezed it inside the pot, making sure it would not come out.
Next, I stuck the bloom in the oasis…
And finally, added the moss.
It’s that easy!
I can think of so many ways to use these blooms. But for now, the blooms are in the breakfast nook in front of a sunny window. So pretty!
I hope you will make a few for your summer home too!

May 16, 2017 at 9:33 amFor my red/white blue themed summer display, I’ve got faux geraniums from Joann’s ( red and white) and a blue tool box that I set on a distressed red stool…fits my small front stoop perfectly!
Now if it would stop raining, I’d be all set!
Thanks for the great ideas for faux flowers – I love them!

July 23, 2016 at 2:08 pmRed geraniums are my favorite flower. I have a silk one in a lovely ceramic pot that I picked up at my local thrift store for a great price. I usually keep it in my kitchen. I love how you put yours in that cute tiered basket with the other flower pots…so cute!!

July 6, 2016 at 9:10 amHi Gail! The geraniums came from a local shop. For better looking faux blooms I shop small local home and garden stores. I got these on sale.
