Flowercrafts

This text contains practical projects inspired by flowers and their properties. The four sections of this book show how to decorate the home, make unique items for special occasions or as gifts, utilize soothing natural fragrances and produce edibile delicacies. Over 35 projects are presented in this guide in an easy-to-follow step-by-step format. Over 250 colour photographs throughout shows how to achieve each project - from a daisy chain wall border, scented sachets, and a bridesmaid head dress, to a tussy mussy, elderflower champagne and rose petal sandwiches. With an introduction to the history of flower crafts and a whole chapter devoted to explaining how to choose, harvest, dry and press flowers, this book also acts as an informative guide to flowers and their uses.
