 Additional Materials:
If you are using a plant pot then I suggest to use either styrofoam, or
dry florist sponge. (you can easily purchase both of these items from
ebay) along with the wires, floral tape etc…

Cut the sponge/styrofoam/polystyrene to the size that fits your pot,

place it inside and push the stem of your flowers in to it. Start from
the centre and place the other flowers in a circle around it.

Cover with pebbles or soil.

Repeat 4 more times.

So you need to work (2dc,chain3 and slst) in each of
the next 4 chains so you will have 6 bubbles in total.

 Assembling the flower
Cut a length of stub wire of approx. 8”- 10 “(20 -25 cm) for

each flower you made.

Then wrap the wire with the floral tape. Wrap a couple of

times over the top part to make it easier to attach the flower.

 Assembling the flower cont…
For this part I suggest to use a glue gun.

Start at the edge with the smallest bubbles and with the wrong side
of the work facing you.
Add a small blob of glue to the tip of the wire and place it just inside
the edge. Add some more glue and roll the wire until the tip is
completely covered.

 Assembling the flower cont…
Only add the glue in small amounts and in small spaces at the

time to avoid excess glue (see picture 1).

Keep gluing bit by bit by winding and gluing in a spiral motion.

Keep going until you get to the end and then fold the last

bubble in to achieve an even finish.

Creating the Grass Bushels
To create the grass you will need green yarn, scissors
and florist wire.
Wind the yarn around the palm of your
hand approximately 100 times.

 Creating the Grass Bushels cont ..

Pull it off your hand and place a wire of approximately 4”(10cm) in the
middle underneath it.
Fold the wire around the yarn and tightly twist to secure the yarn
is firmly held in place. Do not cut the wire. Just cut the ends evenly and
twist them together .

Cut through all the loops on each end.

It still doesn’t look so much like a grass bushel yet but don’t worry
it will soon.

 Putting it all together

Cut the florist sponge to the size that fits

your plant pot and place it inside.

Push the stems of your flowers one by one

in to the sponge in to the central area.

Push the wires of the grass bushels in to the sponge just behind the

stems of the lavender flowers.

To create the look of a real grass

bushel just spray each one with a little
Hairspray.
Keep pulling the strands up and spray
until you achieve the desired look.
