Pound Real Flowers Onto a Button-up
Today, I’m going to show you how to transform a white button-up shirt with a floral design using real flowers.

We’ll be using a hammer to pound the flowers onto the shirt, creating a unique and beautiful pattern. Let’s get started!
Tools and materials:
- White shirt
- Flowers
- Hammer
- Fabric
1. Get flowers
Start by choosing a vibrant bouquet of flowers. For this DIY project, opt for flowers with bright, bold colors rather than pale hues.
2. Place flower on shirt
Select a flower from the bouquet and place it face down on the shirt.
3. Put fabric on top
Proceed to take a piece of fabric and place it over the top.
4. Hammer on fabric
Now for the fun part: gently hammer the fabric to transfer the flower’s color and shape onto the shirt. You’ll probably notice some color from the petals seeping through the fabric.
5. Remove fabric
Carefully peel away the fabric, then remove the flower.
6. Repeat
Continue the process by hammering additional flowers onto the shirt. You can choose where to place the flowers, how many to include, and which colors to use.
DIY floral shirt with real flowers
Here is the final look, featuring the flower prints pounded onto the shirt with a hammer. I love how the colors have transferred to create these beautiful flower patterns.
I’m also pleased with the asymmetric design, which includes two orange flowers on one side. Give this DIY a go for yourself, and let me know what you think!
