Hydrangea Greeting


Made with 4 stems of artificial Spring green Hydrangeas

Three stems of artificial greenery for filler

1 floral, rustic metal wall sconce

One apprentice, this is "Stella"

I snipped off about 10" off the stems, left enough to bend if need be

Placed the greenery in first, will serve as a filler and background

I then added the Hydrangeas in front of the greenery

I saw this project featured at "Be Book Bound: Irish Author: Creating an Irish Farewell".  I absolutely fell in love with it and knew that I would find everything at our local Michaels store to make a similar one.  I'm so glad I finally have something to hang from my front door.  I haven't hung anything there since Christmas, and waited until something inspired me, and this floral arrangement did it!   I completed this project in one hour.

  4. Thank you ladies! I absolutely love it too. I bought everything, just yesterday at our local Michaels. The "Spring" artificial flowers were Ashland brand and 40% off, but make sure they say "Spring time", otherwise you'll be paying full price for similar color flowers. If you make one, I'd love to see it! :)
