Step by step
Step 1:
Cut the felt to size
Cut several strips of the "Crushed felt" wool felt to the height of your zinc bucket. To create a varied look at the end, choose felt strips in different widths of 5 cm and 7 cm and in the colours yellow and green
Step 2:
Glue the felt strips in place
Take the zinc bucket and glue the felt strips to the zinc bucket using the hot glue gun. Always alternate between yellow and green and also between the different felt widths. Glue on as many strips, slightly overlapping, until you have created a felt border of approx. 2 cm. This edge creates an exciting visual frame and brings colour and a positive mood to the arrangement.
Step 3:
Autumnal furnishings
Place the various dried plants such as poppy capsules, leucodendron heads, protea, ivy stands and pine cones in the zinc bucket. Use florist's wire to insert individual plants into the arrangement to create some height. Use the felt edge and allow the plants to protrude slightly without covering the entire edge.
Step 4:
Matching colour details
The wool cords formed into curls placed on the autumnal arrangement give the arrangement an additional colourful eye-catcher. The vibrant colours of the cords pick up on the yellow and green of the felt border and create a harmonious overall look. Every detail contributes to the uniformity and beauty of the arrangement.
And that's it!
The small arrangement with its atmospheric autumn colours offers versatile placement options. It is perfect as an atmospheric decoration for the home and garden and creates a warm autumn mood. It can also be used as a sensitive memorial arrangement on graves to lovingly remember the deceased.
