diy Aisle Runner Rose Petal Border - Stage 1 complete

Jessica, on August 20, 2019 at 9:08 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 5 21
Found this idea on pinterest today.

Ive been racking my brain trying to figure out the aisle decor for the past 6 weeks or so. Had a few trials that I just didn't like.

I already have a burlap aisle runner, so never thought of adding rose petals along the edges.

Then I found this other brides DIY and was in love (Hers is the 3rd pic).

It took about an hour (with help from 1) to do this 7.5' section. It was really easy and I am shocked at how well it turned out.

Planning to add the little swirly pieces to the ends as well.

Planning for mine to be a mix of the last 2 pictures when its done!

Will update later when more progress has been made.

    The girl who made the one "i copied" said it took her over 25 hrs total. Idk why. She must have been perfecting each individual petal or something idk but I did a small sample of "organized" petals vs "tossed" petals and they looked much better.

    Best thing? It should cost under $15 total. I spent $9 today. Everything came from dollar tree though. You should try it, esspecially if you can get some help.

    My "help" was my less than enthusiastic 11 year old son lol

    Interesting… So are those small pieces of cut ribbon? How long is your aisle runner?

    My aisle runner is 30 ft. And no, not cut ribbon, just cheap flower petals from dollar tree. The exact same kind used in the other brides. I actually have used the same products as she did so far.

    That’s really adorable! I’m sure my FH will have as much enthusiasm as your son lol
    I actually have flower petals to use from a failed petal curtain project, this sounds a lot easier than pricking my fingers with a needle constantly. I like your version, I’d want mine to look more like tossed petals too.

    Did you glue the petals to burlap strips?

    No maam I bought a roll of brown kraft paper (also from dollar tree) and cut it into the shape I wanted (theres lots of ideas for shapes on pinterest, who knew?) Then just hot glued petals to the edges and after all edges were done we just layered the petals until no brown paper was showing.

    That is such a unique and really cool idea! I can't wait to see how it looks in the end! I wonder what exactly took her so long though, seems so simple yet really pretty!

    Thank you! I think she was just arranging them too much. Initially I started doing the same thing then had to check myself lol!

    And im glad you said that because compile but pretty is exactly what I was going for!

    I've been trying to figure this out too for so long! This is the perfect solution because I didn't want to pull apart a ton of real roses but I also don't want fake petals just scattered all over the yard to clean up. Thank you.

    Yep, that was our concern too, cleaning up fake petals. Super easy, inexpensive and truly pretty quick.
