We hope everyone had a love-filled Valentine’s Day this
year. One of the Luv4Anouka designers got 50 red roses for Valentine’s Day and
when they started to wilt, she couldn’t bear to see them thrown out. To
Pinterest we went, trying to find ways to preserve their life, but there was
not much creativity in the dried-flowers department. Sure you can dry the
flowers and pin them to your wall, but here is another simple approach that
works just as well!
Here they are before...
And after!
- Cut off any leaves or thorns and cut the stems to your preferred length
- Fan out flowers and tie a small rubber-band (like one you would use for the end of a braid) around the middle of the stems
- Using some kitchen twine or string, tie around the rubber-band tightly (just to provide some extra reinforcement)
- Find a nice long ribbon and begin wrapping around both the flowers stems and the post you’re tying them to. Loop around several times and make sure it’s nice and tight. Then tuck it under and tie a knot to keep it in place. (She was able to tie it around the perpendicular posts for even more support).
