White Hand Tied Bouquet

Now for something completely different fromn the cards. although it does fit in with the flower cards that I've been making recently.

I've started a five week flower arranging course and this is one of my creations. It's not the first hand tied bouquets that I've done but it is by far the best. I moaned and groaned that I was useless at tying these bouquets and then I put this together in about two minutes flat. I must have taken more notice than I realised.

Just to remind myself, I used:

10 white roses

spray carnations

euphorbia from the garden

farsia leaves from the garden

striped grasses from the garden

Gypsophila

To make the bouquet you need to have a central stem and spiral the rest of the flowers and foliage around the central stem. Use the fatsia leaves to edge the arrangement.
