How to Decoupage Dried Flowers On Wood

There’s something timeless and beautiful about bringing nature indoors. One of my favorite DIY projects is creating wood slice art using dried flowers. These little natural treasures can be used as coasters, wall décor, or even thoughtful handmade gifts. Today, I’ll show you how to decoupage wood slices with dried flowers an easy craft that combines rustic charm with delicate floral beauty.

Supplies You’ll Need to Decoupage dried flowers On Wood

Small to medium wood slices (smooth sanded surface)
Dried flowers (pressed works best)
Mod Podge (matte or glossy finish)
Foam brush or small paintbrush
Tweezers (to handle delicate petals)
Clear acrylic spray sealer (optional for extra protection)

Step By Step How To decoupage dried flowers On Wood

Step 1: Prepare Your Wood Slices

Make sure your wood slices are clean and smooth. If needed, lightly sand the surface so it’s free of dust and splinters. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.

Step 2: Arrange Your Flowers

Before adding any glue, lay out your dried flowers on the wood slice to see what design you like best. Play around with different arrangements—sometimes a single flower looks elegant, while a small cluster creates more texture. Some may have to be cut to fit on the slice wood.

Step 3: Apply the Mod Podge

Using a foam brush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the wood slice. Carefully place your dried flowers onto the glue. Tweezers work great for this step since petals can be very delicate.

Step 4: Seal the Flowers

Once the flowers are in place, gently brush another thin layer of Mod Podge over the top. Don’t worry if it looks cloudy it will dry clear. For best results, let the first coat dry and then apply a second coat for extra durability.

Step 5: Optional Finishing Touch

If you’d like your wood slices to be water-resistant (especially if you plan to use them as coasters), spray a clear acrylic sealer over the finished surface once the Mod Podge has fully dried. This adds an extra layer of protection and a smooth finish.
