Thank you! They're VERY easy - just a little fiddly to get going, then it's just weaving.

You tie 11 stems tightly with narrow ribbon just below the flowers and then bend the stems back over and wind the ribbon in and out weaving it until the flowers are enclosed. Leave for a day or so to dry and then tighten the ribbon and tie off. I've decorated that one with dried heather.

that is lovely jaydee, you ought to sell them and if you decide to how much will they be?
Yes, I can see how you come over as being a subtle buyer of things, NannyP

Jaydee's main problem is a lack of supplies! I only have 4 small lavender plants purchased this year and have to wait until there are enough flowers before I can make the next one!
