Hooray, it's taken me about 18 months or so but I've made it to 100 posts! 100 projects, probably not but for sure 100 posts! That's kinda cool.
Well anyways onto today's craft. I've been in two weddings over the last year and a half and I dried the flower bouquets. Since I was already in the mood to make ornaments it fit for my next project.
One of the bouquets had tons of different flowers so I wanted to make sure to get all the color and texture. I slowly took the ribbon off, found out a lot on how professional bouquets are made, and cut it apart. I discovered quickly that I would not be able to get the leaves in without breaking them. I suppose if I did it with fresh flowers they would go in whole.
Once all the pieces were inside I took the ribbon from the stem and made a bow on the top.
I did the same with the baby's breath bouquet. These went in a bit easier. I kept the baby's breath on their stems as well as I could. I cut off stems that had many blooms still on them. They seemed to float inside the blub.
Both brides really loved them.
And I made some for me too. They are a part of my life too and a nice reminder every holiday season. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. And Festivus for the rest of us.
