Tip
Choose woody-stemmed flowers such as rose, waxflower and eucalyptus. These will dry beautifully for a long-lasting display
FLORAL PENDANT
Transform a lampshade frame into a beautiful hanging arrangement with fresh and dried flowers. To begin, remove the bulb holder in the frame with wire cutters, then completely cover the wire sections with moss, using florist wire to hold it in place. To create the floral base around the rim of the shade, make a small bunch with four or five stems – no larger than 10cm in length – and wire in place. With alternate posies facing slightly up or down, gradually layer up and work around the rim, covering the wire each time and building the arrangement. Finally, add a ribbon to hang up the pendant.
Old lamp shade, try Ebay. Florist wire, from all good florist supplies. Preserved and dried flowers, from a selection at Atlas Flowers and Dowsing & Reynolds. Ribbon,from a selection at Jane Means
