DIY: Dried Flower Garland

Need a creative way to get rid of your dried flowers? Why not turn them into a beautiful garland to hang in your home, workspace, or yard? Follow these incredibly simple and easy steps to create this garland.


What you need:

• Dried Flowers (Use a variety of flowers for the best effect. Remember, not all flowers look good when they dry out)
• Scissors
• Twine

All You Need To Do Is...

Put a small group of flowers together and wrap twine around them then double knot, leaving a few inches of extra twine at the end. Continue doing this, spacing out the different groups of flowers, and arranging each group uniquely and in different sizes and lengths. Keep doing this, making the garland as longs you wish. Cut the twine when your done, making sure to leave a few inches at the end.

When your done, hang it wherever you want! I made two and hung them in the windows of my bedroom. The first one I made (not the one above) turned out better because I used a rose and its leaves along with the flowers I used in this tutorial which added more of a variety and made it a lot prettier. 

Heres How Mine Turned Out...

Try it and see how it turns out!

Current Music Obsession: Laura Gibson

So after watching the new Volvo commercial with the Little Red Riding Hood theme, I couldn't get the song they play in it out of my head. I soon made it my mission to find it, which lead me to discovery of the amazing Laura Gibson. I've been listening to her albums non stop on rdio since I found out about her. She has an extraordinary voice that complements her unique musical style perfectly.

Gibson has released three albums, La Grande, Beasts of Seasons, and If You Come to Greet Me, as well as two Eps, Amends and Six White Horses. So far, my personal favorite is La Grande, which came out about a year ago in January of 2012. I think anyone who likes music with a soft, folky and somewhat romantic sound would be a fan of Gibson. Check her out and tell me what you think!
