Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman
Fresh passion fruit vines are coiled to create a tray.
Weave a sphere from grass
Glue a radiating armature from stir-sticks.
Skeletonized leaves can be shaped while wet to create shapes
Remove the pulp from leaves so that only the vain framework remain
Make a small grass "propeller" by pinning blades of grass into the design
Neatly roll you ribbon to store flat in a drawer
Use this technique to gift ribbon wrap a single stem or cover the stems of a bouquet with ribbon
Braid or knot a traditional Celtic heart with foliage
Add a simple hook to the top of the Kyogi paper strips to easily hook it in place
When in doubt, always give your armature three legs. Two legs are simply not enough and four legs will wobble if it is even slightly off balance.
I love hanging flowers to loosely dangle and move in a design
