Whether it is Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, a wedding or any other occasion in between, everyone loves flowers and they are usually the focal point of any celebration. In soft shades of pink, combined with grey and the fresh green of the flowers, your floral arrangement will be the stuff of every woman's dreams.  

STYLIT Organic Bands , made from 100 % sheep's wool, are not only pretty but they are also soft and fit perfectly around the flowers. You can really put your heart into the arrangement and effortlessly create a special bouquet for your loved ones.

Step by step

Step 1: Tie the felt ribbons together

Place your three "Organic Bands" out in front of you and start tying knots in them. Make sure to always leave some space between them. The knots should not be too tight.

Step 2: Add the floral wire

The next step is the floral wire. Thread it through the knots and bend the ends towards each other. Twist them together a few times so that they cannot come loose.

Step 3: Shape the heart

Now take the first of your "Organic Bands" and shape it into a heart. Wrap the other two bands around the original shape.  You may gather the ends of the flower wire at the back.

Step 4: Fill in the heart

Fill the heart shape with the other different-coloured woollen ribbons. You can tie them together if you like. This will make the structure a little more solid.

Step 5: Flower time

The final step is to take your flowers, place them in the netting and arrange them in the desired position. A rose is ideal for the centre of the arrangement.
