me as I make a
Fresh Flower Wall Basket:
This is my finished basket that greets you as you enter my garden:
The basket cost $6.00 on sale but I probably
could have gotten one at a yard sale for 50 cents and the flowers were all from the backyard flower garden.
Probably one of the most common mistakes when doing this type of floral is too much length on the stems and overfilling the basket. A good rule to learn is that things should not be overly touching. Also...make sure the stems don't come out so far that you loose the shape of the basket.
And here's how it's done:

It has been amazing to many how many
Facebookers come steal these old
photos and so I have returned to this
page in 2022 to watermark them.
What a beautiful arrangement, and I love your crafty (craf-tea?) idea for making the basket!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning floral basket you have created!!! It is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen- and all from your very own flowers, wow, so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your garden photo with the flower basket. I can't imagine having all those beautiful flowers. The heat and draught have done major damage to my garden this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeletethis is really a wonderful idea and you made it masterful. I love the sweet ruffled pink hollyhooks. The look so oldfashioned and romantic. It is a wonderful posy and just the right adornment for summer. Thank you for sharing this tutorial and for hosting the Open House event.
Best greetings, Johanna
