Let Annick Mertens show you how florists can bring out the best in simple potted herbs. With her summery work, Annick takes you into a world of colour and creativity. She shows you how to create an eye-catching herb basket for your store using natural materials.
The herb basket itself is made of green moss, creating a natural and earthy atmosphere. The STYLIT felt "Gitti" in moss green is placed on top, which has a calming and at the same time lively effect. The natural jute structure of the felt, the colour of the moss and the felt are all reminiscent of the freshness of nature.
To bring the piece to life, Annick has cleverly used the complementary colour red. The red is opposite the green on the colour wheel, creating an impressive contrast. The STYLIT wool cord "Dochtfaden" in scarlet is an eye-catching colour highlight. This vibrant colour gives the herb basket an energetic and dynamic look that makes the whole arrangement shine.
The combination of natural moss green and bold red creates an intriguing balance between calm and vibrancy.
Step by step
Step 1: Cut the felt to size
First, take the STYLIT "Gitti" wool felt and cut out small squares and rectangles of about 2 cm. They don't all have to be the same size. In fact, if they are slightly different, it can give your herb box a little "wild" touch.
Step 2: Attach moss
Next, attach the moss to your chicken wire with green florist's wire. Bend the wire into the desired shape so that you can easily place your herbs inside. Place the moss on the outside of the wire basket.
Step 3: Glue on the felt
Now use a hot glue gun to attach your felt squares and rectangles to the outside of your basket. Feel free to overlap the felt squares and rectangles a little and glue them together in a jumble, this will give the whole thing a more natural look.
Step 4: Planting
Now it's time for the herbs. Put them directly in the basket with the pots. You can use other herbs instead of basil: mint, rosemary, thyme or all together - there's room for them all in your herb box. As a great contrast to eating them directly, you can put small tomatoes on wooden skewers between your herbs. You can also use small mini chillies or ornamental chillies in pots to keep them fresh and add colour.
Step 5: Wrap
With the STYLIT woollen cord "Dochtfaden" in scarlet red you can make the box even more unique. In our example, the cord colour continues the tomato red. Simply tie the felt cord once or twice around the top edge and the herb basket is complete.
Step 5: Skilful placement
Natural materials can be used to create an unusual and colourful herb basket. Cleverly placed in a store window, it is sure to find a new home with your customers.
