Christmas confetti made with dried flower petals
This confetti mix is perfect for Christmas! It's made from dried ivory delphinium petals mixed with small dried red rose petals. The combination makes lovely throwing confetti with the delphinium petals floating down slowly and catching the light for a perfect photo opportunity. And what's more romantic than red roses?
Inexpensive dried foliage door hanger made with Eucalyptus Parvifolia
I've noticed that natural Christmas wreaths in the UK have been creeping nearer and nearer to the £100 mark! Here's an alternative that I made from two £8.99 bunches of dried Parvi and some ribbon. If you're lucky enough to be able to forage for fresh foliage locally, you could even make something similar and cut that cost down to zero! I dry hundreds of bunches of Cornish Parvi a year in my Sussex workshop as its small leaf size makes it very popular for dried flower crowns and posies. The leaves sometimes have a sherbert scent too!
DIY large lavender sheaf tied with festive ribbon
I made this large lavender bouquet by tying together some smaller bunches. A large lavender bunch like this is often called a sheaf and if you're lucky you can make it free-standing. Our French dried lavender bunches are perfect for this. The trick is to make sure the bunches are all about the same size before you start (cut down if necessary), and make sure the bunches are thoroughly blended together before tying. A lovely personal Christmas gift!
