5-minute Florals With AFloral Week 4

Here we are at Week-4, the time has gone by so quickly. I have so many other ideas, I would love to create and share with you, I guess, they will have to wait until next time. How fun would a Hoop Wreath series be? Woo Hoo!!! Let me know? I collaborataed with AFloral to bring you 4-weeks of 5-minute florals, and this has been so much fun.

I wanted to add the sweetest touch to my Dining Room Mirror. So I thought I would give this little garland a try. I have a big collection of ribbons and strings, that I tuck into a bin, every time I get one on a package or gift bag. So I headed right to that bin to find a piece, to use for this project. I wanted something pretty substantial but still very fluid. This piece of heavy duty twine was perfect.

Here are the supplies I used for this project.

piece of twine

2-stems of eucalyptus

1-stem, flocked lambs ear

1-box preserved rose heads

wire

wire cutter

glue gun and sticks

Simplistic, was my goal, I used floral wire to wrap the greens to the twine, so they would be flexible. Then trimmed the ends.

After I attached the greens I decided to use 7 of the Rose heads, (you could use silk, or even dried rose heads, from a grocery store bouquet). I trimmed the tiny stem, and glued with the glue gun, holding the rose head, in place for a few seconds, until it was secure.

I simply worked my way across, adding a rose head hear and there, but trying to keep it well balanced.

Lastly, I added a knot to each end of the twine, and also added a wire, as you would to hang a picture. So it created a circle. I then tucked the wire behind the mirror, as well as the knots of twine, which held it in place. I love the soft, subtle, Romantic touch it added to my Favorite Mirror.
