You will not believe how easy this DIY faux orchid arrangement is to create.

Retail orchid arrangements are unbelievably expensive.

I created this DIY orchid centerpiece using materials I already had on hand.

And, it is stunning in my opinion.

It also rivals any arrangement around that I have seen priced at $500 and up.

For the base of my arrangement, I used a round concrete bowl.

You can use any type of vessel you want – a footed glass bowl, a wooden dough bowl….

All you need is something deep enough to hold the bubble wrap that surrounds the orchids and dried grass bundle.

I used two potted faux orchids.

The number you use will depend on the size of your vessel.

Normally, I would use an odd number of orchids….

However, I also added some tall dried grass to the back of the arrangement – that gives me the odd number of items planted in the vessel.

Faux Orchid Options

Moss Options

When I first created this arrangement, I also used my real air plants.

Faux air plants would work just as well.

Or you can omit them completely as I did when I used the arrangement on my piano for 2026.

Instead, I used a faux moss stem at the base to add more texture and dimension

Supplies

a vessel

moss stems

Directions to Re-Create This DIY Faux Orchid Arrangement

  1. I removed my faux orchids from their decorative pots. If your container is deep enough, you can leave them in the pots. These orchids are in a styrofoam base which makes them easy to secure.
  2. Then, I hot glued the base of the orchids to the center of my bowl. I arranged the orchids so that the blooms were going out towards the edges of the bowl.
  3. Then I grouped the grasses and twigs into one bundle and secured it with twine.
  4. I placed a giant blob of hot glue in the concrete bowl and placed the base of the twig bundle on the glue. If your stems are even at the bottom, the bundle should remain standing relatively easy once the glue has dried.
  5. Next, I cut various squares of bubble wrap and wrapped it on itself. I secured the balls with packing tape.
  6. Then I folded another piece of tape on itself so that the sticky side faced outward and placed it on the bubble wrap balls.
  7. I placed the tape side to the orchids and to other bubble wrap balls so that they would remain in place.
  8. I filled the base of my bowl with bubble wrap until I could no longer see the styrofoam base of the orchids.
  9. Next, I hot glued large pieces of moss over the bubble wrap.
  10. I started around the orchids and worked my way around the bowl.
  11. After I had covered the center of the arrangement in moss, I worked around the sides and lip of the bowl making sure that all bubble wrap was covered.
  12. I removed the glue strings and set my orchid where it would be displayed.
  13. Finally, I placed three live air plants around the orchid to fill in the blank space at the base of the arrangement. You can also omit the air plants and use a moss draped along the bottom.

Now, I have the perfect statement piece to enjoy through spring.

I hope you will be on the lookout for faux orchids so that you can re-create this amazingly easy DIY faux orchid arrangement.

Before placing the balls in the bowl, add another piece of packing tape to the outside so that the balls will stick to each other and remain in place.
