My Creative Workbook

Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman

Messy summer floral nest

Twirl a large spiral cage from flat wire (see the Tutorial below) and rip a few flax or grass blades (see the Tutorial below)

Start to cover the wire with ripped grass.

Weave the grass in and out of the wire frame

Keep adding blades of grass...

When the wire spiral is almost covered, wire in a few glass test tubes for the fresh flower material.

Add a few dried hydrangea blossoms and continue to weave grass over the frame

Create more depth by looping grass around the frame

Fill the test tubes with water (see Tutorial below) and add the passion fruit vine

Add the rosary vine, more ripped grass and hydrangea flowers
