The sort of blog you'd expect from a meandering dandelion wishing day dreamer. Namely, bit of everything. I want to share my experiences and explorations in the world of fashion, beauty, thrifting, DIY, cooking, gardening, and "Ask Elisabeth" where you can ask for advice or exchange ideas. Everyone is welcome and tolerance and manners appreciated.
Explore and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
I was at Target recently and saw this floral arrangement :
Which I thought was quite lovely. At $20 though, I found myself hesitating over purchasing it. I then had a light bulb go off over head at the realization I already had all the supplies I needed to make this myself.
My creation:
This project is fast, simple and customizable to whatever color scheme you want! I decided on floral stems instead of wood curls and a blue/silver/white color scheme.
Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate (DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!!!)
Time: With dry time under three hours. For actual project time: under an hour.
What you'll need:
Wooden box or container to hold your arrangement
Floral foam (Oasis)
Floral stems
Wire cutters
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Loose glitter
Wood stain (Optional)
Glitter spray
Spray snow
Cost: If you craft this is a super cheap project (I spent $0), if you craft somewhat it will probably be anywhere from $5-10 and if you don't craft at all it may be cheaper to buy the Target floral arrangement - limited color selection though.
