80 wooden golf tees

Lay down a drop cloth or old newspaper in a well-ventilated area to protect your work surface.

Put on disposable gloves to protect your hands from paint.

Spray paint all 80 wooden golf tees with bright purple spray paint. Ensure even coverage and allow them to dry completely.

Take one of the large round white styrofoam balls and begin inserting the pointed end of each painted golf tee into the ball, spacing them evenly to mimic the petals of an allium flower.

Repeat the process for the remaining three styrofoam balls, using an equal number of golf tees for each to maintain uniformity.

If desired, apply a coat of acrylic sealer spray to each completed allium flower to protect them from the elements, especially if they will be placed outdoors.

Allow everything to dry thoroughly before setting the allium flowers in your garden.

For a different look, consider using golf tees of varying lengths to create a more dynamic and textured appearance. Experiment with different colors of spray paint to match seasonal themes or existing garden decor. You could also attach these allium flowers to garden stakes to elevate them above lower plants, giving your garden a more layered look.
