Make A Beautiful Unique Flower Hoop Wreath.

 

We created these for the wedding, but just think how lovely they’d look in your bedroom & depending on what foliage you use, you can make them to last, for endless joy. And an added bonus, dried flowers & leaves are all the home decor craze right now.

 

You will need:

 

  • Circle hoops, you can find them in sliver, gold or even wooden bamboo in a variety of sizes.
  • Greenery, our personal favorite is eucalyptus as it drys really well & we just love the colour. But there are many other options, go explore your garden or a local florist.
  • Flowers – a few great choices for drying, we recommend baby’s breath, hydrangeas & roses. Get adventurous and add dried pampas grass.
  • Ribbon – we added this for a bit of extra fun & texture. Combine hessian ribbons with a silk satin type. We chose natural, earthy tones, but you get creative on your choice of colours.
  • Other – Garden pruner or sharp scissors, & a stapler.
  • Florist tape & wire or otherwise you can use a home sewing thread preferably in a green colour similar to the leaves.

 

Directions to creating a flower hoop wreath:

 

  1. Get all the items on your list & lay them out on your work station.
  2. Start by laying your circular hoop down first in front of you.
  3. If you’d like to add ribbon we would recommend doing so before starting with the foliage, you can double up the ribbon & staple it around the hoop.
  4. Cut the greenery you’d like to use, use long stems so that they can wrap up the sides of the hoop. Fasten a piece of thread or florist tape to the hoop & wrap it around the leaves to secure the leaves to the hoop.
  5. Cut short stems on the flowers you would like to use, you should be able to slide the stems of the flowers in between the leaves, again you can run the thread around to secure. Get creative and see what looks good.
  6. Remember to have fun & enjoy to process.

Our Top Tips For Keeping Fresh Flowers Fresh For Longer

Our Top Tips For Keeping Fresh Flowers Fresh For Longer

 

 

If you follow our Instagram account then you probably are aware that we love fresh flowers.
Having a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers in your home is said to increase happiness & we fully agree with this statement, because it does bring us great joy.
Not only does it improve mood, but increases creativity & relaxation which is another thumbs ups as to why you should spoil yourself every once in a while with gorgeous bunch.

Our top tips for keeping fresh flowers:

  • We went to Myth busters for this one. First prize would be keeping your flowers in the fridge, which unless you’re a florist, I doubt this would be an option in your home. But another option for keeping that gorgeous bunch of awesomeness around a little longer would be………can I get a little drum roll………Apple cider Vinegar & Sugar. Flowers need sugar as food. Sugar is substantial ingredient in flower food packets. The problem is sugar accelerates bacterial growth. And you get those gunky, slimy leaves around day 4 to prove it. The solution is to add an acid. Enter vinegar, the bacteria-fighting agent to combat any damage the sugar creates. It’s the perfect combo for helping your flowers last a little longer. And we like it because it’s certainly more eco friendly than bleach or aspirin.
  • Recipe: To a large vase of fresh cold water add 1 tablespoon of white or apple cider vinegar & 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • If you’re up to it, re-cutting the stems ever so often does add longevity, because the stems seal up after a day or two.
  • Change the water daily & remember to add new batch your homemade power food.
  • An interesting little fact, just because we’re Dutch & tulips are a big thing for us…hehe, tulips continue to grow after being cut, up to an inch or more. They are “phototropic”, bending towards the light, so rotate containers daily to keep stems more upright.

Wishing you a blossoming day.
