Woman attaches Dollar Store flowers to a styrofoam ball. Undoubtedly, this is the top fall porch idea!

Begin by preparing your artificial flowers. Use wire cutters or scissors to trim the stems, leaving about an inch of stem to insert into the styrofoam ball.
Heat up your hot glue gun. Starting at the top of the styrofoam ball, glue the flowers in place, ensuring they are close together to cover the surface completely.
Intermittently add small pinecones and miniature pumpkins between the flowers to add texture and variety.
Once the entire ball is covered, wrap the LED fairy lights around the flower-covered ball. Secure the battery pack at the base with hot glue, ensuring it is easily accessible for turning the lights on and off.
Place the illuminated flower sphere in a decorative bowl, basket, or on a stand for display.
Variations & Tips
To personalize this DIY, consider using different sizes of styrofoam balls to create a variety of spheres for a more dynamic display. You can also experiment with different types of artificial flowers, such as sunflowers or chrysanthemums, to match your personal style. For an added touch of elegance, incorporate metallic elements like gold or copper spray-painted leaves. If you prefer a more natural look, use real dried flowers and foliage instead of artificial ones. Remember to choose LED lights with a warm white glow to maintain the cozy ambiance.
