dane chain

 

 

  

gather together:

 

approximately 2 yards of ribbon, lord dane bunting label pack + a bamboo skewer

tools: hole punch + scissors

+ faux flowers (the cheap ones with plastic stems--sometimes if you look really hard you may see something that resembles a dahlia or a ranunculus....)

punch holes in the top 2 corners of all of the Lord Dane labels

string ribbon through holes, going in through the front of the label , through to the back (so that the ribbon draping remains on the back side of the label )and back up through the front . string all of the labels together this way; set aside

clip flower blossoms from bouquet

remove plastic parts from bottom of flowers

grasping the flower, remove the front center plastic part and pull out as well

keep holding the petals together with one hand

with your other hand, lay your ribbon over the center of the petals, where the hole is + using the bamboo skewer gently push the ribbon through to the other side, so it comes out the back of the flower.

tie a loose knot in the underside.

this will help keep your blossoms in place and spaced however you choose

continue stringing as many blossoms as you wish onto your garland

remember to tie a knot after each one

enjoy!

lists i keep, but do not write

 

 

earlier this year i went in search of

Fiona's lovely new (at the time) little books

i wanted something small, compact, yet able to accomodate my bulky lists

the moment i had one in my hands i knew they would be perfect .

 

 

if you read Fiona's blog you know elephants + elephant imagery are part of her family history

so this lovely book band detail came as no surprise
