Floral Fridge magnet in a nutshell

I glued tiny water filled drinking straws at a slight angle into the nutshell to give the plant material a water source. But both the Kalanchoe 'Calandiva Pink' flowers and the Ceropegia woodii leaves will remain turgid out of water for at least a few days. The variegated grass will dry and curl slightly but will keep it's shape tucked under the rosary vine.

Tuck the thinnest part of a corsage magnet into a nutshell.

Glue the Kalanchoe 'Calandiva Pink' blossoms to cover the magnet.

Finish the design with a sparkly bead, two heart shaped Ceropegia woodii leaves and a variegated ribbon grass folded like an awareness ribbon

Fit the larger magnet at the back of the nutshell.
