With these simple and stylish DIY instructions, we'll show you how to make your own modern table decorations with sunflowers - perfect for weddings, birthdays or simply as a colourful highlight on your dining table.

Materials required:

  • 3 bundles of birch trunks (birch trunks in different sizes and thicknesses)
  • As many test tubes as you like 
  • 3 large household rubber bands 
  • Wooden base 
  • Thick drawstring ribbon 
  • Flowers (e.g. sunflowers with delphinium and camomile)

Instructions for table decorations with sunflowers - we'll show you how it's done:

Hands tie several birch trunks together with a rubber band to create a bundle. The birch trunks stand on a wooden base.

Step 1: Create a bundle with birch trunks

Place the individual birch trunks of different sizes next to each other. Use a household rubber band to tie the trunks together and form a tight bundle. Repeat this process until you have made a total of three bundles.

Hands tie a thick drawstring cord around a bundle of birch trunks standing on a wooden base. Scissors and more cord lie beside it.

Step 2: Decorate birch trunks with drawstring ribbon

To cover the household elastic, take a thick drawstring ribbon and tie it around the elastic. Repeat this for each bundle. Then place all three bundles on a wooden base with the same distance between them.

A person fills test tubes placed between a bundle of birch trunks with water from a bottle. The birch trunks are wrapped with a drawstring cord and stand on a wooden base.

Step 3: Add test tubes
