I picked a couple of armloads of flowers (yesterday) from the garden and took them to a friends house to share a few tips on making nosegays. This particular nosegay is made by forming a cone with attractive paper. (Scrapbook paper works well) Cut out a circle in the desired size, cut the circle in half and form the cone. Tape.
A small ribbon is glued around the circumference of the cone to finish the edge. (See pictures below)
A water tube is used to keep the flowers fresh for days.
Fill tube with water and flowers. Slip the tube into the paper cone. A ribbon handle can be added by punching a whole on either side of the cone and tide off. It can then be hung on a door, tree or twig. Another option, without the ribbon, is to place it in a clear jar or vase. |
Didn't the ladies do a fine job? Each person went home with a sweet nosegay!
