Best of 2017: DIY + Flowers

If there’s one design element we love without hesitation here at D*S, it’s anything connected to flowers. Whether it’s a great floral arrangement project or a DIY paper flower tutorial, we love bringing in color and texture through florals. We posted so many wonderful projects and ideas this year so scroll down to check out our favorite florals, floral DIYs and a few DIYs (without flowers) that are worth trying over the holiday break. –Grace

Kate Alarcon was the queen of paper flower tutorials at D*S this year. This paper allium how-to stole the show for me.

This dreamy tablescape of spring flowers was great inspiration from Swallows & Damsons.

Kate’s paper tutorial for purple fritillaria is a stunner.

Swallows & Damsons’ winter weeds post shows us how to turn overlooked plants into beautiful arrangements.

Why buy when you can DIY? The Earth Tu Face Beauty team shares their recipes for making homemade beauty products.

These DIY paper Icelandic poppies from Kate are a great way to bring color to the table — permanently.
