Craft Projects: Autumn Window Garden
|
|
|
Dried
flowers collected from your own garden make this lovely sill wreath
arrangement
very special. It's the perfect combination for autumn captured forever
and country charm to your window decorating.
FOR
THIS AUTUMN WINDOW GARDEN YOU WILL NEED:
- 8" window-frame
base
- Three
2" diameter clay pots
- 8 oz.
peat moss
- 8 oz.
Spanish moss
- Four pink
roses
- Floral
wire
- Hot glue
gun with glue sticks
- Ten to
twelve of the following: pink carnations; yellow mini mums; purple
asters;
springs of statice (various colors); springs of baby's breath; springs
of purple salvia
1.
Prepare your dried flowers by trimming them, leaving at least a 2"
stem.
Do not make all stems the same length. This variety will create a more
natural look, as if they really were potted plants.
2.
In each clay pot place enough Spanish moss to fill up to 1/2 below rim.
Cover moss with peat allowing some to stand above the rim.
3.
Insert prepared stems into the moss. If you are having trouble, try
using
a pencil to open up the moss, then insert the flowers.
4.
Once you are happy with your arrangements, glue the pots to the base.
Use
a large amount of hot glue to attach the pots securely. Glue one pot to
each end of the base and one in the middle. Allow to dry and then check
to make sure the pots are both secure and level. Add more glue if
needed.
Make sure pots are even with the base. The base should be able to stand
on its own.
5.
Begin decorating the base by embellishing the sides with the salvia.
Start
at the top of each side, overlapping as you work your way down and
carefully
gluing the stems.
6.
At the center of the base , position the four pink roses to form a
diamond
shape. Fill in with statice and baby's breath, leaving the top of the
arch
undecorated.
7.
If necessary, use a hairdryer on the lowest setting to remove any glue
hairs.
8.
Add a hook to the back of the base for hanging by cutting a 5" piece of
floral wire and forming a loop you can tie to the back. the wreath can
also be freestanding for a shelf, curio or mantel.
