Leaf Garlands for the Flowers

July 9, 2014thegrangerange.wordpress.com

I have been busy making leaf garlands to show off all the lovely flowers we are receiving.

Trying to make them in different shades of green for variety. This was the 3rd attempt and I added stems for the flowers which I really like.More parcels arrived today so I will be sharing more lovely contributions at the weekend.

All those flowers! I extra-like the ones with little stalks. Looks great 🙂

  Thank you, I find it hard to use just one colour as I usually like things to be very colourful but we have such lovely flowers being contributed I want to show them off at their best. So back to more green hooking!

    Thank you, I go from feeling it will be fine to panicing that I still have so much to do. But I am sure it will be great on the day and we have parcels arriving nearly every day as well as what we are making ourselves.

    That is so exciting! But I know what you mean! I always start worrying when I have so much to do, but it is an awesome feeling being done with everything (when it gets done)

I have been doing a flower a day thing on my blog for my donation specifically if you want a preview of what I’m going to send. Is it okay if I send out my flowers at the end of the month? I just want to know I’m giving you enough time to put them together.
Much Happiness,
Megan

Oh, those are amazing! Maybe a good way to use the practice flowers I made when designing my bouquet. Thanks 🙂

  Sounds like a grand idea and it would be a shame to let the practice flowers remain unused.

  I can almost do it in my sleep now! I cannot take credit for the flowers, only the top image ones are from my stash, all the others were from the 30 that were contributed by the lovely Hatted Owl shown in the previous post. Actually I should add that in, sorry Hatted Owl.

They all look fab but no1 is my favourite – I think it’s the shade of green you used in that one 🙂
