Festive DIYs with Paulsvera
In sisterMAG, DIY BLOGGER VERA shows you how to convey the certain something in just a few steps of your next letter, grift wrap or hair comb… with playful and pretty floral details.
DIY »Hair Comb with dried Flowers«
Materials:
- Hair comb, e.g. from the drugstore
- A piece of felt
- Hot glue gun
- Dried flowers, e.g. straw flowers, Limonium, Thistle, Lavender
- Scissors; if necessary, wooden sticks to spread/portion glue
Instructions:
- Cut a piece of felt (about 2-3 cm wide and as long as the comb) and attach it to the comb with the hot glue gun.
- Drape the flowers on the piece of felt and attach them with the hot glue gun. Work symmetrically from the outside to the inside.
DIY »Elegant Envelopes«
Materials:
- Handmade paper envelopes
- Paper with botanical print
- Baker’s twine, sealing wax, and seal
- Dried flowers
- Scissors, glue & pencil
Instructions:
- Remove the inlay of an envelope and use it as a template for cutting the paper with botanical print; cut off the side parts.
- Using the template, transfer the form to the paper and cut it out.
- Align with envelope and glue with glue stick.
DIY »Gift Box with dried Bouquets of Flowers«
Materials:
- Gauze fabric (e.g. old baby spit cloth; alternatively, you can use linen, silk, or cotton). This can be dyed with black tea, as I have done
- Dried flowers, e.g. straw flowers, Limonium, grains, herbs, thistle
- Satin ribbon
- Wrapping paper, scissors, glue
Instructions:
- Wrap gift with white wrapping paper. Tear a ribbon from the gauze fabric (important for the frayed edge) and wrap it around the gift.
- Tie small mini bouquets of dried flowers & grasses and close with a bow made of satin ribbon.
- Attach to the gift (either with a small safety pin or hot glue).
