Sunflower Craft Ideas to Save
pointed yellow petals
We’re starting off strong with this bright yellow petal wreath in progress. I love how each folded petal has an open middle and a sharp little tip.
The brown ring is still showing along the inside. If you want to follow this look, keep the petals pointing outward with their edges overlapping.
big looped petals
Want a fuller-looking flower? These wide yellow loops are so pretty arranged around the circular frame.
Their gathered ends are visible while the middle is still unfinished.
For your own version, you could add a dark brown center to turn the yellow ring into one big sunflower.
pale blue sunflower jars
This color combination may just be my favorite one so far. The pale blue jars look gorgeous with the yellow sunflower bunches and dark distressed details.
Try a little bow around the neck of your jar like the one in front. Leave the ends long if you like that loose, simple finish.
flowers in a white vase
How cute is this flower picture? The raised yellow petals and bumpy dark centers sit above a white vase shape on a black background.
I especially love the faint pattern on the vase. For a similar design, keep the background plain so you can enjoy all those little flower details.
sunflowers and colorful spirals
I am obsessed with this wreath. The yellow sunflowers are so cute beside the red, brown and green spirals.
Those chunky brown centers are a lovely detail too.
If you want to try this arrangement, leave a few green leaves extending beyond the circle rather than keeping everything tucked inside.
a giant flower arch
If you are looking for something big, then this one is for you. Large yellow flowers curve across the wall with green leaves peeking out between them.
Mix smaller flowers into your own display like the ones here. I love the orange rings around the dark centers.
pale yellow ruffles
Don’t want to stick with golden yellow? No problem!
This wreath has pale yellow, ruffled-looking petals around dark round centers. The flowers sit close together with hardly any gaps between them.

a yellow checked bow
How pretty is that oversized bow? The yellow-and-white checks look so cute beside the sunflowers and all those yellow loops.
This wreath mixes large and small flowers with leafy sprigs around the edges. Keep the bow off to one side if you want to follow the same arrangement.

let the sunshine in
Bring a little sunshine to your decor with this oval sign. I love the black lettering on the white background, especially with the large yellow flowers along the bottom.
The words read “let the sunshine in.” You could use that same phrase for your own design or choose a short greeting.
little looped flowers
These little stitched flowers are just too cute. Each one has a dark brown circular center with open yellow petals all around it.
If you enjoy crochet, save this as inspiration for flower motifs. I’d keep the brown-and-yellow pairing just like this.
clear tray with gold flecks
I am in love with the scattered gold-colored flecks in this clear tray. The large sunflower shapes sit along opposite edges with loose yellow petals between them.
For a similar arrangement, leave some open space in the middle rather than filling every gap with flowers.
a sunflower-covered pebble
If you are looking for a small painting idea, this one is for you. A large yellow sunflower fills the middle of the gray pebble, surrounded by deep green leaves and tiny flowers.

The little pale lines on the petals are my favorite part. Try a few light yellow highlights on your own flower to get a similar look.
a sparkling sunflower hoop
This is actually one of my favorite designs on the list. The sunflower sits off-center in the hoop, with long yellow stitches spreading out from a textured brown middle.
I love the shiny brown details around the center. Keep that cropped flower shape if you want to try your own sunflower embroidery.
one oversized sunflower
Why stop at a little flower? This oversized sunflower has layers of crinkled yellow petals and a full brown center.
The image labels it as a tissue paper sunflower. You could use a flower like this as the starting point for a party backdrop or let one large bloom be the whole decoration.
tiny sunflower earrings
How adorable are these earrings? The yellow petals have little grooves down the middle, while the brown centers are covered in tiny indentations.
Silver-tone hooks finish the pair. Save this shape if you want a sunflower project you can wear rather than hang on your wall.
white circles and daisies
This one is a little different: it’s a daisy wreath rather than a sunflower design. White circular ends form the ring, with separate yellow circles dotted among them.
A cluster of white daisies sits on the right.
For a sunflower-inspired version, you could paint the white circles yellow and the scattered yellow circles brown. Swap the white flower cluster for sunflowers too.
a sunflower fall pumpkin
Welcome fall with this pretty sunflower pumpkin. I love the large black lettering against the pale background, with yellow flowers wrapping around the sides.
A layered bow sits at the top with orange checks and a leaf pattern. Try the same mix on your own pumpkin if you want to bring in another fall color.
sunflower scenes on a tissue box
Don’t want another wreath and want something a little different? This tissue box cover has sunflower scenes on both visible sides, with white borders around each picture.
The little cottage scene is so pretty. You could choose coordinating floral pictures for your own cover rather than repeating the same image on every side.
gathered yellow petals
Here’s another flower-inspired project taking shape. The gathered yellow ring sits beside a sewing machine, with an opening in the middle and unfinished edges around the outside.
I love the folds pointing inward. For a finished sunflower-inspired decoration, you could add a brown circular center over that opening.
a sunflower monogram centerpiece
Last but definitely not least, we have this sunflower-covered centerpiece. The clear upper holder surrounds a yellow pillar candle, while the green base has rows of flowers around its edges.

I love the pearl-like J on the front. Choose your own initial for a personalized version. Use a flameless candle if you want to add a glow.
