So while I was visiting a lavender festival I encountered the enjoyment of making these lavender wands. They can be used as wands for kids to play with as well as presents and something to make the clothes in your drawers smell nice. I also found once you get used to them they are easy and affordable to make.
You will need:
• fresh full sticks of lavender( an odd number as well so 7 is a good number to start with)
• 6-3mm ribbon depending on what's easiest( the bigger the ribbon the easier it is)
•scissors
INSTRUCTIONS:
1: grab your odd amount of lavender(make sure they are long!)
Separate one piece and pinch about one centimeter underneath of the flowerbud for about a centimeter and a half until the stalk feels bendy
Do that to each one.
2: make sure there are no leaves on the stalks
3:line up all the first flowerbuds and tie together with your long piece of ribbon leaving a short end that you can tuck in
4:hold your stalk upside down and start folding the ends down from the bendy part in step one.
5: after all of them are bent down spread them out so they aren't clumpy in areas and flip back over so they are right side up
6: grab your long end and weave until you arrive at the same spot. When you reach that point the weaving should be the opposite of what you did last time
7: just go all the way down until it looks right and draw a knot around it. Cut the ends so they are even and hide the end of the ribbon
8: add your own details and VOILĂ€ it's finished!!
