Christine de Beer - effortless floral craftsman
Create a full design without the weight by stabilizing the flowers with glued sticks. This is a great alternative to floral foam.
Stack and wire a twig mushroom armature
Soak sisal fibres in strawberry and black berry juice to stain it purple
Wire and glue the driftwood at an angle to balance on a pebble
Polystyrene or Styrofoam makers ideal shapes to pin or glue plant material to.
Tap away most of the pollen from a fully opened tulip
Glue gypsophila sticks, flowers and dandelion seeds into a star shape
Very thin barbed wire to add contrast to a soft and fluffy design
The tiny bug box is perfect to carry wedding rings in by a dapper Ring Bearer
A woven butterfly net to carry scatter petals in for a small flower girl
Unravelling bind-wire from the inside out, keeps it from tangling.
Use all three methods to dry hydrangeas to get three very different textures to use in design work.
