Materials
Bunches of dried lavender (the amounts in each will vary)
Heavy craft scissors
20 inches wire (per bundle, more or less)
25 inches wire-edged ribbon (per bundle)
Instructions
step 1Purchase bunches of dried lavender from a dried-flower or craft supplier.
step 2You will need several small branches to create each bundle, which, when finished, will stand approximately eight inches high.
step 3Unwrap the bunches, discarding any damaged or broken pieces which might protrude from the finished bundle.
step 4Keeping the flower heads together at the same level, re-form the lavender into a bunch. As you add pieces to the bunch, it will form into a funnel shape. Tie each bunch with wire approximately four and a half inches below the flower heads. Twist to tighten.
step 5Trim edges until perfectly even so the bundle can stand on its own.
step 6Finish with a piece of wire-edged ribbon
