Read MoreWe’ve got an easy breezy DIY for you today! Take a moment from the hustle and bustle to create this beautiful dried flower ornament for yourself or a loved one! In just a few minutes time you can have a handful of unique ornaments to remember the trends of today or a special event that you dried your flowers from.
Read MoreThis is the easiest DIY of all time! Cut your dried flowers into small bits, leaving 2-3” in the stem length. Holding the bits between your thumb and index finger, arrange the bits how you’d like them creating a tiny bouquet. Use the spool wire or tape to secure the stems together where your fingers were holding them in place. Simply slide your tiny dried flower bouquet under your ribbon or work it into the bow itself! That’s all! And the best part is the recipient can keep these little bits of joy after unwrapping their gift!

Read MoreBottle brush trees are a charming nod to the past, bringing that special touch of vintage magic to holiday decorating. Their fuzzy textures, soft colors, and timeless appeal make them perfect for creating cozy, nostalgic vibes that feel like stepping into an old Christmas card. We love leaning into that nostalgia, and whether you're adding them to your mantel or holiday village, these little trees can make a big impact. Below, we’re sharing creative ways to incorporate bottle brush trees into your holiday decor, along with a few affiliate links to help you find the perfect ones to bring your vision to life!
Read MoreIt couldn’t be easier to attached the bottle brush trees to your wreath! Lay your piece of wire flat on a work surface and place the bottle brush tree in the center of the wire. You want the wire to be at the base of the bottle brush tree, right above its little stand. If you work the wire into the tree itself you could bend the bristles and ruin the shape of the tree, so keep your wire at the bottom! Cross each end of wire over to the other side and tighten so you have 2 tails coming out of your bottle brush tree. Place the tree where you’d like it on your wreath and cross the wires again to twist behind your wreath so it’s attached. This time, don’t twist really tight, but rather loose to make sure your bottle brush tree lays the way you’d like it to on your wreath before tightening the wire.
Read MoreWelcome to The Flower Cottage, holiday edition!! The week after Thanksgiving we deck the halls and get the old gal jazzed up for all of the holiday festivities! For our annual Wreath Workshops and your own holiday gatherings, the Flower Cottage is cozy and festive all December long!
