Step by step

Step 1: Wrap the steel stand

Take the "Dochtfaden Flimmer" twine and start wrapping it around the steel stand from the bottom up. Continue until one third of the steel is covered.

Step 2: Bend the wool cords

Next, take the green-yellow wiry wool cord "Rauris" and wrap it around the next third of the steel. Try to bend the wire as much as possible in different directions to create irregular lines.

Step 3: Repeat with another wool cord

Using the brick red wiry wool cord "Rauris", repeat step two.

Step 4: Repeat for a third time

Repeat this step one more time and wrap the steel stand with the cord "Rauris" in the colour moss green.

Step 5: Nearly there!

Cut several 5 cm long strips of the "Stylo" wool cord in brick red and moss green. Glue these and the STYLIT "Stylo Decoration Scatter" around the wrapped steel with the hot glue gun. Take the 2 branches and attach them with wire parallel to the steel.

Step 6: Finish with flowers

Fix the glass tubes between the two branches. If necessary, use a hot glue gun or thin wire. Cut the flowers to the right length and place them in the water-filled tubes.

Step 7: Done!

With this tutorial and other creative ideas from Lily Beelen, you too can create an extraordinary vase with delicate flowers and felt cords in the warm colours of autumn.
