With this autumn-inspired botanical craft, I decided to combine previous pressed flower and pumpkin vase projects into what I am called my pressed flower pumpkin vase! This is a great craft to share with little ones or fellow craft-loving mamas alike.
This is one of those slow, seasonal crafts to usher in autumn and put to use the beautiful strawflower heads you've grown and collected this summer. My favorite crafts are the ones I create with natural elements from my garden and supplies I already have on hand. Strawflower garland can add a whimsical touch to your greenhouse, chicken coop, and your next birthday celebration.
I ran across these cinnamon-scented broomsticks at my favorite market and instinctively popped a few in my cart. When I got home, I couldn’t wait to try my hand at decorating them with dried botanicals I'd preserved from my garden.
Harvest, create, and give a pretty sentiment with violas! My daughter and I made these greeting cards made with pounded, pressed, and dried violas. We loved the texture and layering that the combination of different preservation techniques gave the project. It was the perfect rainy-day craft.
Maddie and I made these sweet little notes to give to teachers and grandmas on Valentine's Day. Little fabric pockets hold a message and the card is topped with dried flowers and herbs we preserved from our summer garden.
