Hello,
Thanks for visiting!
Let me show you how I used some lavender
from my garden.
They were picked in the summer and now the buds are dry.
I found a large cardboard box and cut out some
heart shapes- about 4'' tall.
I had some lavender colored ribbon,
white glue and a tool to poke a hole for the ribbon.
You will need some dry lavender, hopefully you have some
or can get some from a friend.
A piece of parchment paper will be helpful.
I store my lavender in an antique oak seed box.
These are easy and fun to make.
Cover the heart shape with glue and cover with buds,
press to hold in place, and then glue the edges and
cover the sides.
Lay on parchment paper.
It's a bit sticky if you are impatient like I am.
Allow to dry.
Poke a hole for the ribbon hanger.
After the glue dried, I checked them over
to make sure everything was covered completely.
You can always go back with a little glue and add more buds.
I have these small bags and clear mailing seals
that I bought at the DOLLAR TREE
I had some bags just about the right size.
I used scissors to cut a 'V' at the bottom of the bag.
Then pulled the ribbon through the hole.
You can still smell the fragrant lavender buds.
I am hoping this will help with
less mess when handled at the craft show.
I sealed the bag with the circle dots.
I like to have a large variety of items on my table
in a wide range of prices.
They can be picked up by the bag or the ribbon.
Small items at the craft show always sell out
and that makes me happy!
They can be used as stocking stuffers,
tree ornaments or package toppers.
Here is a Lavender Wreath, some Embroidered Lavender Sachet,
and How to pick lavender for Stamped Muslin Bags.
Just recently, how to make Sugar and Lavender Scrub.
I hope you have a wonderful week!
Your visit is always appreciated.
