Let's Do This!
Step 1:
Cut a section of flowers from the main bunch. The bunch should be approximately 10” high.
Rubber band the bottom of the bunch together.
Step 2:
Fill the shaker halfway with sand.
Insert the bundled flowers into the sand.
Step 3:
Cut a 24” length of jute and saturate it with watercolor. Let dry. Tip: Lay the jute on a plate to protect your work surface. Use a paintbrush loaded with color and dab it along the jute. Choose a color to match your flowers.
Step 4:
Cut four 11” pieces of burlap ribbon (see inset photo). Hot glue the seams together to make one piece.
Step 5:
Trim the length of the burlap piece to 10”. Cut off both raw edges to create crisp edges.
Center the arrangement in the middle of the burlap piece.
Step 6:
Fold the burlap up around the shaker, keeping seams and folds even.
Tie the jute around the shaker to hold the burlap in place. Make a bow and trim off any excess length.
