Make a beautiful big fluff arrangement with pampas grass and mason jars.
If you have been around me at all you know I love nature.I couldn’t resist creating a big fluff arrangement with pampas grass. I love to bring it indoors and do so regularly.
This time of year the grasses all start to die off. The are throwing up their beautiful showy plumes and it makes my heart pitter patter.
The bigger the better.
I took my sidekick on a road trip to a Pampas Grass place of plenty.
Fair warning, wear gloves and tread lightly.
In about five minutes we had arms full of soft fluffy gorgeousness.
Back home I used pecans as a flower frog to hold up these bountiful blooms.
In my $1 Roundtop jars.
Score.
And placed them in my kitchen window. My husband thinks they are too big. I agree to disagree. See earlier motto.
There were so many I made a quick door hanging and have since handed them out to two friends. I’m sure they were overjoyed. 🙂
I love a plant that you don’t have to water and doesn’t really die, because it’s already kind of dead, it just dries up some.
Stunning, free and low maintenance – you can’t beat it with a stick! You might also like my dried cotton arrangement. I also made this AMAZING wreath with Pampas Grass Plumes, you need to check it out!!! Here are some other fall decorating ideas with plumes incorporated: table, Mantel
Now go get you some…

Aren’t you smart! We have other ornamental grasses in our yard. Might just do this. 🙂
Easy impactful decorating…in your yard. It hardly gets better than that!
Kim…have been following your site for many months and to say the least, it’s amazing, beautifully written and a pleasure to read ! You have a wonderful outlook on life, a strong Christian faith, an ingenious sense of decorating and a beautiful family. One of the things I love most, is your ability to weave your Christian faith into your blog. You make me wish I could go back in time and start again. I’m a retired elementary teacher, a lucky granny to three amazing grandchildren, and during spring, summer and fall I love playing in the dirt, growing vegetables and perennials.
Winnie – I am thrilled you shared with me today. thank you friend! No need to go back and start over, start now!!! What lucky grandbabies, you could do almost all the crafts I do with them. You’ll have to give me some veggie growing tips, we aren’t that great at it and what we do grow the squirrels devour! Stay in touch!
Plumes and pecans…I would have never thought of that! Girl, I am constantly blown away! Amazing!!!
You should make these!!!
Beautiful…..I grew up seeing these in a neighbors yard and always thought they were so beautiful. Sadly the only down side is…..they spread almost like weeds so never plant them in your yard or you will have more loveliness than you might want!
We had a huge one by our house growing up too. Yes – they can be a nuisance for sure…that’s why I hunted them down instead of planting them 😉
What a cute and clever idea!
You are so good at this, Kim!
Wish you lived closer; I’d be asking for more help around our place!!
Hope you are doing well and have a wonderful weekend~
Melanie
I wish I lived closer too…would love to have coffee with you. Hope you are feeling better!!!
Hey there, living the plumes. They are very eye-catching. We are doing fine but T is being careful. Didn’t know you had been under the weather. You’re too busy to get sick. Miss seeing all of you, Bunny
When I saw your windowsill photo, at first I thought the jars were filled with giant feathers! Your plumes are just lovely and look perfect, three in a row on your sill. Your photographs, esp. the first one, are lovely; you are one talented lady 🙂
why thank you! The plumes really are just gorgeous
I spray mine with either clear sealer or hairspray so they don’t shed.
that is a great tip! thank you xo
