It seems everywhere I look online, magazines, and in stores I see a bowl full of orchids (faux or real) with moss. I love the look, but often times they are super pricey.
I thought, well, HEY, I could do that myself. So I went on a hunt for white orchids. I eventually found these at Trader Joe’s. There are actually two different sizes here. Three mini ones and one medium size one. There is also a non-blooming orchid in the center that is large.
The mini ones were $6.99/each. The medium one was $11.99. I first filled my dough bowl with peanuts until I got it to a level that I liked.
Then I put some cardboard to make a flat surface, and then plastic down so if the orchids leaked it wouldn’t ruin the dough bowl. Next, I placed the orchids in their clear containers. Then I filled the bowl with chartreuse reindeer moss until I was happy.
Voila! This dough bowl is HUGE so it takes quite a few orchids. You could easily do this in a smaller bowl – dough bowl or really any other bowl. The orchids usually bloom for a month or two. I love this fun pop of color in the living room! I hope you enjoyed my DIY orchid dough bowl centerpiece
Beautiful, Angelina! Orchids are easy to grow, so hopefully you’ll enjoy these for many years.
this is lovely my friend. I was just admiring the orchids at our local market. Yours look lovely in your dough bowl. Pinned your diy xo
So beautiful. Love the fact they’re not overly large. I think smaller size looks great so you notice the dough bowl and orchids

Thank you, Judith!
What a great idea. The arrangement is lovely. I have also a lot of orchids so that I will try to do myself.

It works well for any larger bowl!
Did you use the styrofoam packing peanuts? A great idea.
Very pretty Angelina! I am happy to feature you at this week’s TFT party. Have a great weekend!
