Last year I made my own real orchid arrangement – similar to ones you see in all the magazines, social media, etc!

Except, I have a brown thumb. It is also an accomplishment to kill every one of my indoor plants I have ever purchased.

So I got the idea to make a faux orchid arrangement as the ones that are available for purchase are quite pricey!

I purchased this set of Orchid stems– you get a set of 4 for under $20. I ended up doing this project for another vase and bought these orchid stems which were a little more expensive at 2 for $20 – they look a *bit* more real, but really they both look good.

I purchased this set of Orchid leaves – you get 3 plants for under $20.

The blue and white porcelain bowl I purchased at Home Goods for $20. Floral foam was $3.

I took these pictures but then ended up purchasing are these stakes to make the stems a little more upright.

1. Take your dry floral foam and cut a piece to wedge into your vase.
2. Poke and place your orchid stems into the foam.
3. Then place your orchid leaves into the foam.
4. Use reindeer moss to cover the foam.

So I suppose project total was $63 – BUT listen… BONUS!! I made *TWO* orchid arrangements with the materials I bought! This one is sitting in my master bathroom! I already had this vase sitting here and had a faux rose that was looking… meh so I put this orchid stem here instead! I LOVE it!

Here is an update – with the slightly more expensive stems attached to the bamboo steak.

Here are some blue and white planters/vases that could work if you aren’t able to find one at Home Goods Or if Home Goods is closed in your area!
