FLOWER CHILD DIY

September 5th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Flower - (Comments Off)

I am loving this kid-friendly tutorial for making a floral halo by the house that lars built for hello bee! Grab your flower girl(s) and get busy!

Materials: flowers, clippers.

tep 1: Cut down the flowers to 5-7 inches long. Take off extra greenery.

Step 2: Cross one flower over the other.

Step 3: Take the top flower and wrap it under the bottom and then up to the top again. Bring it down to lay with the first stem. The tighter you do this, the more secure the crown.

Step 4: Lay the next flower down close to the second and repeat the process.

Step 5: When you reach the right length for the shape of the head, weave in the ends of the stems into the first flowers.

DONE!

That’s it! To create a fuller crown, weave in more flowers. For variation, try varying the flowers for different patterns.

We got a lot more than we “bargained” for at the 127 Corridor Sale! We went in search of vases and vessels but came home with ponies and flocked teddy bears too! The 127 Sale is the world’s longest yard sale,  stretching from Michigan down to Alabama! If you are a DIY bride or in search of interesting props, containers….anything really, then plan a road trip for the first weekend in August! For more info visit The 127 Sale website!

When I lived in Brooklyn, the BBG was a favorite place to visit! We did many weddings there, each different but inspired by the lush surrounding gardens. This summer when we visited we made a day of it…we had a blast prancing though the roses, dancing under the mobiles, and gazing into the huge koi pond! The Cherry Blossom Festival is a must if you you are there in April….dreamy and magical!

BONSAI MUSEUM

When touring the Bonsai Museum in Brooklyn, New York I really got a feel for the ancient Japanese art form of growing miniature trees. Each plant was a different variety and each a had their own unique shape. I could see bonsai as a form of gardening done together as a couple and how neat would it be to display the miniature landscapes as centerpieces at your wedding!
