DIY Flower Garland
A flower garland is a beautiful addition to an archway or over a door for a special celebration such as a wedding or Easter party. Whether you use fresh, dried or silk flowers, the garland is constructed via the same method. Fresh flowers will fade quickly, however, so long-lasting blooms like carnations or daisies are a good choice. The garland should be put together the day of the event. A flower garland can also be fashioned into a circle and pinned to the hair for a charming flower girl headpiece. Does this Spark an idea?
