How To make a Floral Purse from Florists Review 101 How to favorites volume 2

Petaled Perfection: An updated version of a traditional flower girl basket from Florist's Review 101 how-to favorites -volume 2

Hang these baskets from the stanchions and shepard hooks at an outdoor wedding. Have your flower girl carry it if you are not having her scatter petals.

Individual florets of sweetly scented stocks are glued onto the basket using liquid adhesive as well as onto the cardboard disc that covers its opening, which creates the illusion that the basket is filled with flowers. A flourish of spray roses is glued to each end of the handle, adhered to bows made from the same ribbon that elegantly enwraps the the handle.

How to make : Step by Step

1. Wrap the basket's handle with narrow ribbon securing it in place occasionally with tiny dabs of hot glue. If you chose a sheer ribbon, overlap it slightly to create a striped effect.

2. Cut a circular piece of cardboard the same diameter as the opening of the basket, and secure it to the basket with hot glue.

3. Using liquid adhesive, cover the basket and its cardboard top with individual flower florets. Adorn the bases of the handles with bows and a spray or roses. .
