last flower-arranging class

This time we made hand-held bunches of flowers.
Preparing the greenery

the grasses

and the flowers

Start with one flower (here a peony) and surround it with greenery. Add a second flower and greenery at an angle of 60º to the first, main flower.

Rotate the bunch so that the newly added flower points towards you and add another flower and greenery again at 60º to the main flower. Keep doing this until the main flower is surrounded by the smaller flowers. Tie off tightly with raffia.

Trim the stems to the same lengths.

Wrap in cellophane and tie tightly with raffia then ribbon. Be brave and add water!
