In summer, the outdoors have their day. A Sunday breakfast on the balcony, a birthday party in the garden or a barbecue on the terrace give us the opportunity to enjoy time with our friends and family. When people meet around a table, beautiful decoration plays its own special role, which is why Pelargonium for Europe experts have prepared some beautiful suggestions for table decorations with geraniums, which you can easily make yourself.
Stone composition with colorful geraniums
A summer flower bed on cobblestones: This imaginative table composition is striking thanks to the charming contrast between the vivid grassy and colorful geraniums and the lifeless gray of the cobblestones and the metal frame. With the right materials, craft lovers can easily come up with this idea.
For this composition, you will need nine bricks, a square tin tray, large enough to fit the bricks, metal straws, a hammer, grassy and freshly cut garden geraniums, and a retaining strap the same color as the geraniums.
How to make it: Place the blocks on the square tray and tie them with the retaining strap. Then, using the hammer, flatten one end of each metal straw so that water does not pass through. The part that you will flatten on each straw must have a different length. Next, place the metal straws between the cobblestones with the flat edge facing down and fill them with water. Finally, place the grass and freshly cut geraniums in the metal straws. Ready! Tip: Cut the geraniums to different heights for a more special result.
Vase-candlestick with geraniums
This vase-candlestick gives an atmospheric touch to the garden table on summer evenings. It does not require much skill to make this beautiful decorative composition, so DIY lovers will enjoy it very much.
You will need a flowering geranium, a small vase, a pair of pliers, a flowerpot wire, a flowerpot ribbon, a colored ribbon, wire for spool construction, fine sand and candles.
To make it follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Wrap the flower wire with the tape and shape it into a ring. The diameter of the ring must be the same as the diameter of the jar in which it will be placed.
Step 2: Using the pliers, form a loop at each end of the wire and tie a ribbon about 20cm long to each loop.
Step 3: Cut the geraniums to the appropriate height and tie the stems along the flower wire with the construction wire so that the flowers are next to each other and cover the flower wire as much as possible.
Step 4: Place the geranium wreath on the rim of the jar and tie it with the ribbons.
Step 5: Then fill the jar with sand and add the candles. Tip: For a larger table, you can add more jars with just ribbons and fill them with sand and candles. Depending on the size of the jar, you can place one or more candles in it. By choosing different colors, you can customize the design with the flowering geraniums, depending on your personal taste and style.
Simple beauty: freshly cut geraniums
This beautiful decoration idea is reminiscent of the cool breeze, with the grassy and beautifully freshly cut white geraniums adding a summer touch to the table. To make this composition, all you need is a simple rectangular wooden box and several identical glass bottles.
Advice: White geraniums give the composition an unpretentious freshness and grace. Geraniums with more intense colors such as pink, red or purple, create a more impressive result.
