Good morning, afternoon, evening!

I suggest you “grow” a real pistachio topiary together! This tree looks great as an interior decoration, both in a classic and minimalist style. Such a tree can be given as a gift to any man or woman for any occasion. And most importantly, once you understand the technique, you will be able to make such original and stylish gifts with your own hands!

And a little more about topiary... Topiary is the art of curly cutting of various plants, shrubs, and trees. Nowadays it has become very fashionable to artificially “grow” such trees. Florists use a variety of materials, both natural and artificial, to create such compositions. We will use real pistachios.

So, as they say: “More action, less words!”

And we will need the following materials (I will indicate alternative materials in brackets):

  • pistachios (coffee, beans);
  • Corilus (any other interesting branch-stick);
  • pot;
  • natural moss (sisal);
  • piaflor for dried flowers (foam);
  • alabaster (cement);
  • glue gun;
  • spray paint, preferably quick-drying;
  • I didn’t need the tape that lies on top)))

And here it is, clearly!

Well, shall we get started?

Cut out a ball from piaflora for dried flowers or from foam plastic (I have a ready-made ball with a diameter of 7 cm);

Carefully apply glue to the pistachio. Not on your fingers, but on a pistachio!

Glue the pistachios into the ball about 1/3 of the way through the nut with the open part facing up. If you come across a long pistachio, we deepen it flush with the previous ones;

We continue to glue the pistachios in a circle relative to the ball. We try not to move the previous ones. If, after all, you have moved the previous pistachio, then it is better to pull it out, clean it of glue and glue it again. If there are unsightly gaps between the nuts, you can glue one half of the shell.

We leave room for gluing the corilus or any other stick you like. For a ball diameter of 7cm, the barrel is approximately 30cm;

Now let's get ready to paint! Of course, it is best to do this outside or in a well-ventilated area! I used quick-drying paint (20 minutes and you’re done!). And don’t forget to read the instructions on your can!

We paint the finished ball and several individual pistachios so that we can then fill the space around the trunk. We paint it 2 times, letting it dry in accordance with the instructions for using the paint.

Apply enough glue to the barrel and glue it to 1/3 of the diameter of the ball. Let it dry for ten minutes. While it dries, it is better not to touch the trunk.

Fill the remaining spaces with colored pistachios and halves.

Pour alabaster into the water and stir quickly. State of liquid sour cream.

Seal the hole in the pot (if any) with masking tape from the inside. Let's try on our tree in the center. Finally, pour the solution into the pot.

We hold the barrel straight, do not move so that the ball is in the center until the alabaster hardens.

Now let's start with the decoration. I used moss that I collected in the forest in the summer. We glue the moss onto dried alabaster, maybe to a pot, to a trunk, creating a small hummock, as in nature...

For decoration, instead of moss, you can use sisal. Finally, we decorate with ribbons, raffia, the same sisal, etc.

That's it, the topiary is ready! I made it for Valentine’s Day, so with a felted wool heart!

Have a nice time!

The autumn-themed topiary is decorated with roses made by hand from orange peels, dried flowers, acorns, apricot and peach pits, and dried citrus slices. A trunk made of a thick curved branch is fixed in a clay pot with plaster casting. A unique tree of happiness “Autumn Mood”, materials for which were prepared throughout the whole year!

Used homemade ball from newspapers. A foam ball with a diameter of 20 cm will also work.

The total height of the autumn tree is 42 cm, pot - 9 cm, crown diameter with decor - 22 cm. To make a topiary of this size, all you need is 2-3 hours: you will need to make and dry various “lambs” and roses from orange peel in advance.

Materials for creating topiary “Autumn mood”

  • Ball made from newspapers. Diameter - 19 cm.
  • Scotch tape, twine, plasticine.
  • A curved thick branch. Length - 30 cm.
  • Clay pot - 1 pc.
  • PVA glue and brush.
  • Plaster (0.2 kg), solution container, whisk.
  • Cinnamon sticks - 2 pcs.
  • Nutmeg - 2 pcs.
  • Peach and apricot kernels.
  • Acorn caps - 30 pcs.
  • Peppercorns - 30 pcs.
  • Dried flowers.
  • Narrow satin ribbons in orange and brown colors - 2 meters.
  • Dried lemon or orange slices - 4 pcs.
  • Prefabricated orange peel buds - 5 pcs. (You will need 8 whole oranges).
  • A4 sheet of orange and chocolate felt - 1 pc.
  • Orange peel roses: 10 large, 20 medium and small.
  • Silicone glue sticks for a hot-melt gun (diameter 7 mm, length 20 cm used) - 6 pcs.

Video master class - topiary on the theme of autumn from natural material

This particular master class turned out to be special: the video not only duplicates the text version, but is a separate and, admittedly, more convenient tutorial on do-it-yourself autumn-themed topiary. Watch, get inspired, get new ideas and share with your friends on social media!

How to make topiary from natural material - MK in 1 picture

Step-by-step master class with photos - do-it-yourself topiary on an autumn theme

Making roses and preparing slices

Stage 1. Pre-drying flowers and segments. Preliminary preparation is the most important stage in making autumn topiary from natural materials. To make roses, the orange peel is cut in a spiral; the size of the rose depends on the length of the cut strip, and the height depends on the width of the cut. For a ball d=19 cm, the approximate number of large roses (d=5-7 cm) is 10 pcs.; medium (d=3-4 cm) - 20 pcs.; small (d=1-3 cm) - 20 pcs.


Stage 2. Formation of large roses. For large flowers, glue in white cores of suitable size. Orange peel roses are ready - and this is just one way to make orange peel flowers!




Stage 3. Gluing the leaves. From sheets of felt we cut out autumn leaves in the shape of a “fish”. We used orange and chocolate felt in A4 format, the approximate size of the leaves is 1/32 and 1/64 sheets. For topiary made from natural material you need a lot of leaves - we cut all the prepared leaves (chocolate - 2; orange - 1).


We glue felt leaves onto large and medium roses - about 2/3 of the total quantity. Depending on the size of the bud - 3-6 leaves. We glue the lemon slices in the same way.


Pouring the pot

Stage 4. Preparing the flowerpot. We seal the drainage hole with several layers of tape so that the solution does not spill out. We fix the trunk with crushed plasticine to the bottom of the pot, at the same time thinking about the location of the ball: the design involves the use of a curved barrel, it is necessary to secure the branch so that the finished autumn topiary made from natural materials does not fall on its side.

Stage 5. Filling with plaster. The abundance of elements makes the crown of brown topiary quite heavy, so we recommend using gypsum filling to firmly fix the trunk.

Mix the solution: for a 0.5 liter pot you need 200 ml of building plaster (alabaster) and 200 ml of water. The ideal proportion is 1 to 1. Mix thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous mass, without lumps. Fill the pots about 2/3 full. The gypsum hardens within 2-2.5 hours, but we recommend leaving the pouring for a day until it dries completely..


We have prepared a detailed article for you on: technology, useful tips and recommendations. A must read, if this is your first experience of pouring plaster or alabaster!

Making a ball

We completely wrap the finished ball with twine and satin ribbons - in a chaotic manner, fixing it pointwise with glue.


Formation of the autumn crown

Stage 7. Attaching the ball. Through trial and error, it turned out that it is much more convenient to first attach the ball to the trunk, and only then start decorating the crown. Before final fixation with glue balance the center of gravity of the decorative tree.

Stage 8. Gluing roses. We glue large roses evenly over the surface of the topiary made from natural materials, then medium and small ones, as well as whole citrus slices and halves, leaving gaps, as shown in the photo.




Decorating a flowerpot

Stage 9. Composition at the base. After complete drying, we treat the gypsum surface with PVA glue in 2 layers for better adhesion to decorative materials. For flavor, we form a layer of apricot and peach seeds and fix it with glue. The next ball is autumn dried flowers (we also glue the top leaves). Cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and rose secured with a satin ribbon complete the composition.


Final decor

Stage 10. Finishing touches. Glue apricot kernels and piles of acorns into the gaps between the roses on the crown (you must first glue peppercorns or coffee beans into them). We also glue 2-3 apricot kernels onto dried flowers at the base of the autumn tree of happiness.

The presented topiary made from natural materials is unique: the decor for it was prepared gradually throughout the year in order to be collected in the fall! In spring - orange peels; in summer - apricot and peach pits; in autumn - dried flowers and a bunch of acorns. In addition, thanks to the abundance of various natural materials, the tree of happiness exudes a subtle, very pleasant aroma.

, further text and photo of the master!!!

I invite you to try with me to create such a juicy summer topiary from dried flowers and “buds” consisting of pistachio shells.

I’ll warn you right away that the work ahead is painstaking and long, but the result is worth it;)

Necessary materials:

  • heat gun;
  • glue sticks;
  • Titan glue;
  • decorative metal bucket;
  • rattan ball, pistachio shells;
  • Korelis branches, stones for balance;
  • dried cereals;
  • button flowers;
  • sisal;
  • decorative elements.

To create the “buds” themselves, we will need a heat gun, special glue sticks for it (you will need quite a lot of glue) and the actual pistachio shells.


Before starting work, the pistachio shells must be thoroughly washed to remove salt and husks and dried.

ATTENTION! When working with a heat gun, be extremely careful! Molten glue is very hot and can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with the skin!

So let's get started. First, you need to divide the pistachio shells by size (at least roughly). This is not necessary, but it will be more convenient. We take two shells of suitable size and connect them using a heat gun at the base. It should look like in the photo.


Next, on top of these shells, we glue the next two, which should also be approximately the same. The glue hardens quickly, but you can have time to correct the shifted shells.

We glue the next two shells on the opposite side. Our bud already has six petals. We glue two more shells, and our “bud” is ready! So, in four stages we get one “bud” consisting of eight petals (shells). For me this is the optimal size. If desired, you can add two or four more shells, thus increasing the size of the “bud”.


To create a topiary you will need a lot of “buds”. I made about forty pieces.


The next stage is gluing the “buds” onto the ball - the future crown of the topiary. In my case, I took a rattan ball of the same color as the pistachio shell, with a diameter of about 9 cm.


You can take a foam ball. It will make it easier to create a perfectly round crown. But I’m not looking for easy ways, so I glue the “buds” onto the rattan ball with a heat gun in such a way as to correct the imperfect circle of the rattan ball.

I place the “buds” so that the gaps remaining between them are approximately the same. Don't forget to leave room for the barrel.


Since the rattan ball is hollow inside, it needs to be filled, otherwise we will not be able to fit it on the trunk.

To fill the void, I use the remnants of sets of scented dried flowers, which will give my future topiary a subtle, refined aroma.


You can take anything to fill it, for example, napkins, and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for aroma.

It is very important to choose the right barrel. This could be a tree branch, a wire wrapped in twine, or, as in my case, Korelis branches.


Now you need to pick up a pot. I have just had a metal decorative bucket of a beautiful olive color waiting in the wings for a long time, which goes well with the green lagurus.


Since the crown turned out to be quite heavy, to maintain balance it is necessary to make the bottom heavier.

For this I use sea pebbles.


You can take any pebbles. We fill the bucket with pebbles, secure the trunk with it and fill it with Titan glue.


Now we are patient and wait for the glue to harden. Since there is a lot of glue in volume, it will take a long time to harden, about a day.

While the glue was not completely cured, I installed a decorative element in the form of a yellow-painted rolled leaf of a tree, secured with floral wire.


After the glue has hardened, you can decorate with sisal, hiding our pebbles. For this I also use Titan glue.

I chose undyed, natural sisal. It went perfectly with my topiary.


Now a very important point - connecting the top of the topiary to the bottom. To do this, I fill the hole in the crown with hot glue.

I pour a lot of glue, I don’t regret it. Then I take the bucket, turn it over and insert the trunk into the hole in the crown. I wait a while for the glue to dry and turn it back over.

I do this so that the glue does not flow down the trunk. Now, before the glue has completely hardened, there is time to adjust the height of the trunk and the location of the crown.

When the glue has completely dried, you can check the connection for strength, twist the crown, and turn it. If necessary, you can also pour in hot glue, naturally turning the topiary upside down.

The next stage is filling the gaps on the crown between the “buds” of pistachio shells with dried flowers.

For my topiary, I took the following dried flowers: cereal dried flowers of a suitable color, green lagurus and yellow button flowers.


Hello! Today we will try to create an aromatic topiary.

This topiary is much more difficult to create than a regular one, why? But I’ll tell you about this...

First, we need the aromatic sachet you see in the photo.

They vary in color, aroma, and content composition.

The difficulty is that from all this variety of dry things to create a harmonious topiary that pleases not only the sense of smell, but also the eye.

All parts are hard and during the gluing process it will not be possible to bend them and glue something into the remaining gaps, unless using tweezers. Therefore, some craftsmen use coffee beans to fill the spaces between the glued elements. But I liked this sachet scent so much that I decided to do without coffee beans, which would overpower the delicate aroma of the composition.

So, let's now come to the creation itself.

In addition to the aromatic sachet, we will need:

  • topiary trunk (these can be either natural branches from trees or made from kebab sticks, you can take a wire and bend it beautifully),
  • base (foam balls or homemade paper balls (newspaper), as in my case),
  • tweezers (for convenience),
  • hot glue gun,
  • suitable flower pot,
  • building plaster (alabaster),
  • decor: satin ribbons, beads, yellow sisal.

We decorate the sticks and wire with satin ribbon.

And let's start analyzing the aromatic sachet. We put the most beautiful and few elements in separate piles; they will go to the most prominent places.

We will use the rest to fill the space between the beautiful elements.

The result of this process is visible in the photo.

Since I have a double topiary, there are two balls. We make holes in them into which we will insert our sticks.

We coat the ends of the sticks with hot glue and insert them into the balls; for better fixation, we fill the contact space between the ball and the stick with hot glue.

We glue the most beautiful elements from the sachet. Starting with the flower, then glue on the rest of the beautiful details.



From the shells we make flowers, such as in the photo.



We create flowers from all sorts of scales and other suitable materials.

For the splendor of topiary, you can use sisal.







We distribute all the beautiful few details evenly into two balls so that there is no crowding.



For decoration we use beads, which we glue into the centers of the resulting flowers. Let's add bows made of satin ribbons.

Our entire composition needs to be placed in a pot and secured with alabaster.

We decorate the pot using corrugated paper and satin ribbon.

We cover the plaster with yellow sisal.

This is what I came up with, which seems pretty good. 🙂

The smell is wonderful and pleasing to the eye.




An aromatic sachet tree will be a wonderful decoration for your interior.

I wish you creative success!

No matter how much we love summer, this wonderful time of year is quickly ending. And with the arrival of autumn, I want more and more to return to the season of flowering and fragrant plants.

But can this beauty be magically transported from summer to autumn and winter? It turns out, yes, and florists will help with this, creating beautiful compositions from dried flowers.

Bouquets of dried plants will not only decorate your home, they will fill it with summer warmth and a delicate, unique aroma.

However, there are people who, believing in folk signs and superstitions, believe that dried flowers cannot be stored in an apartment or house. But is this really so? And is it possible to keep dried flowers at home? Let's try to figure it out.

Dried flowers and the possibility of storing them at home

Many amateur flower growers have long been divided into two opposing camps. One of them believes that it is good and useful to keep dried flowers in the interior, while the other gives arguments against them, explaining why you can’t keep dried flowers at home.

But what is the reality like? Are dried flowers in the house good or bad? Professional florists help you find the answers. But let's start, first of all, with the main definition.

So, dried flowers are plants that do not lose their visual appeal during the drying process, from which it is possible to create decorative compositions in the future.

This dried plant material can be used as decoration in the following cases:

  1. When dried naturally without strong chemical treatment;
  2. When a person does not have an allergy;
  3. If the composition is not poisonous and safe for children and animals as well;
  4. If the plants do not harm interior items;
  5. When, after drying, plants do not become areas of rotting.

In all other cases, dried flowers bring benefits, including aesthetic satisfaction and creating a cozy homely atmosphere.

Therefore, the answer to the question: is it possible to store dried flowers at home? - Definitely yes. This should not be done only if it directly harms your health.

Completely dried flowers and all the processes associated with them are dealt with by florists in a separate section, which has recently been called dried flower floristry.

Dried flower arranging

Dried flower arranging is a floristic art direction associated with the creation of dry compositions, including for giving and decorating premises.

Dry bouquets differ from live bouquets in that they are more fragile, but do not require water and can be stored for a long time.

To create dry compositions in dried flower arranging, craftsmen adhere to the following steps:

  1. The collection of material is carried out during maximum stability of the culture. The harvesting schedule for creating dried flowers is different for each plant;
  2. The collected plant material is subjected to a drying process. There are several drying methods that are applied to different compositions;
  3. They choose the type of composition and select a combination of plants with each other, based on the catalog;
  4. Dried plants are painted to give them greater brightness;
  5. They create a composition according to the conceived idea.

Of these actions, one of the most important is the proper drying of the plants, because if the plants are not dried well, the composition will soon lose stability and either crumble or begin to rot.

Methods for drying and coloring plants

The drying process is not too labor-intensive, it just takes time. But is it possible to store dried flowers and other plants at home during the drying process?

It is possible, but it is not advisable to do this in residential premises. After all, for plants to dry out, they need dryness and the absence of sunlight so that the plants do not lose their natural color.

What drying methods are there? There are several of them:

  1. Hang drying - this is a method that allows you to keep plants in the best possible shape. To do this, long shoots are cut, tied into small bunches and hung with the flower heads down (very rarely up);
  2. Floor drying – plants are dried on newspaper or in a box;
  3. Herbarium – flat plants are dried by placing them under a press, which can be used, for example, as a book or board;
  4. Drying in bulk solids – plants are placed in deep containers with moisture-absorbing dry substances, for example, flour or rice. This method is suitable for drying flowers with large buds;
  5. Industrial drying – plants are placed in specially designed rooms and dried using industrial hair dryers or in infrared cabinets. Then such plants can only be purchased in stores, and other methods are used at home.

After drying, the plants are painted if necessary. For this, various types of dyes are used.

A master class on coloring dried flowers is shown in the video:

Let's move on from technical processes in dried flower arranging to compositions from dried plants.

Types of compositions from dried flowers

From dried flowers, florists are able to create not only ordinary bouquets, but also other types of compositions that will fit perfectly into any interior.

- a round decoration made of dry materials intertwined. There are two types of wreaths, one is a women's accessory, the second is an interior element. In the first case, the basis of the wreath is strong dried plant stems, often cereals, and the addition is both dried and artificial flowers. In the second case, the base is dry branches with dried flowers woven or attached to them;

directly related to the creation of compositions from natural materials. And dried flowers, created according to the laws of this trend in floristry, convey the maximum feeling of nature in the house. Such ikebana can resemble both a flower field and an autumn forest with fallen leaves;

Collage in a photo frame – this decor is suitable for any interior, including children’s. Plants are hidden behind glass and therefore cannot cause allergies. At the same time, they are less susceptible to destruction and last longer. Compositions are created from meadow flowers and dried herbs.

are three-dimensional framed paintings. Plants for such paintings are chosen with shapes close to natural. And unlike collages, where plants have a flat appearance, in this case volume is important.

The creation of panels and collages is a unique floral technique called oshibana. In this case, dried plant material can be supplemented with other natural elements, for example, branches and tree bark.

Flower cards – these are interesting miniatures made of dried flowers, mounted on ready-made postcards or on crafts made of paper, cardboard, or fabric. The imagination of florists allows you to create micro bouquets, tiny natural landscapes and still lifes that will become dear to every heart and will be treasured for a long time;

Topiary - This is an original tree in a pot, created with your own hands. It looks original and unusual.

We will describe in more detail how to make such a topiary.

Master class on creating topiary from dried flowers

Topiary of dried flowers- This is a simple composition, which is sometimes created from scrap materials. To make this tree, you just need to take an old pot, a dead trunk from the forest or a dried plant stem, dried flowers or petals, polystyrene foam and various materials for decoration.

But one of the most beautiful master classes is creating eco-topiary from dried flowers. This name is due to the fact that a large number of natural materials are used in the composition.

What will you need to make an eco-tree? You will need the following materials and tools:

  • Flowers and stem of immortelle, larugus grass;
  • Dried pumpkin with a flat bottom;
  • Lace ribbon, sisal and feathers;
  • Linden bast;
  • Styrofoam ball;
  • Glue gun;
  • Sheets of paper and cardboard;
  • Scissors and thread;
  • Nippers and paper clips;
  • Gypsum mortar and container for mixing;
  • Plastic bag.

The master class is carried out step by step in this way (the main processes in the photo collage):

  1. We stick the sharpened strong stem of the immortelle into a foam ball to a depth of three centimeters, and to keep the stick in place, we plant it on an adhesive base;
  2. We make a base pot from a pumpkin by cutting off the top and gluing a lace ribbon;
  3. We create nests for flowers from bast. We wrap the bast around the cardboard, secure it with thread, cut off the excess length with scissors and straighten the nest;
  4. We create nests from sisal. To do this, cut out small circles from paper, crumple pieces of sisal and glue them onto the base;
  5. We collect elements to decorate the ball from feathers and a nest, secure them with half a paper clip (cut with wire cutters) in the ball, glue an immortelle flower on top;
  6. We fill the ball with elements, glue larugus into the gaps;
  7. We prepare a gypsum solution in a container, take a bag, close the bottom of the pumpkin and pour the solution;
  8. We install the stem with the finished top and leave until completely hardened;
  9. We fold the rest of the package inward, glue it to the base, and add sisal on top.

After this, the composition is completely ready, and such an eco-tree will decorate any room in the house.

When making topiary, you can use various dried flowers, not only those presented in the master class, so let’s look at the catalog with them.

Dried flowers catalog

The huge variety of dried flowers will not allow us to talk about them all. But among the existing species, we can distinguish plants that are very loved by both ordinary people and florists.


Immortelle
, which has the second name helichrysum, is very reminiscent of miniature asters and for good reason, because it belongs to the same plant family. Small flowers with velvet or double petals and multi-colored colors are stored dry for a long time.

Because of this durability of dried flowers, both the name immortelle and the love of florists for creating bouquets from this plant appeared. Helichrysum looks especially beautiful in a bouquet wrapped in craft paper.


beautiful both live and dried. Huge inflorescences of white, green, pink and blue shades serve as an excellent decor for any room. Hydrangea looks incredibly elegant when placed in a glass vase or jug.

But in order to preserve the color and lushness of the plant after drying, you need to know when to collect it. The most suitable time would be the end of summer - the beginning of autumn, before the start of the rainy season, at the moment the last tiny flowers bloom from above. This collection will allow you to preserve the natural color of the dried plant as much as possible.


- This is one of the most favorite dried flowers among florists. They are added both to compositions with fresh flowers and to dead wood. In addition, lavender has many types and retains its aroma even after drying.

Many people love bouquets of dry lavender, but lavender in combination with various dried flowers in a hat box or wooden envelope will look original and not outdated.

Another interesting option for using lavender in floristry is as a hedge in the garden or front garden. For such a fence, annual or perennial tall plant varieties are taken and then planted. At the end of the flowering season, the lavender color will be lost, but the plant will look good until spring.

In spring, the annual dried flower can be replaced with other plants. And dry perennial lavender will come to life again after winter, and in the future its flowers can be cut for drying.


- ornamental grass with a fluffy inflorescence at the end. In common parlance it is called the haretail precisely because of its appearance, reminiscent of the fluffy tail of a long-eared hare.

Larugus spikelets are easy to color, so florists often use the plant when creating bouquets and decorating.


It is an unusual plant in many ways and is considered a religious flower. But nevertheless, florists consider it a good material for creating many compositions.

The flower itself is quite large and consists of a seed capsule and petals. But it is not always possible to see the entire bud in a bouquet. Although it will fade completely, especially if it is painted.

For the most part, craftsmen use a seed pod when creating floral arrangements. The reason for this choice lies in the large and interesting shape, which becomes the central element of any bouquet of dried flowers. Lotus surrounded by lavender, lagurus and wheat is very attractive.


Being a medicinal plant, even after drying it does not lose its properties. The plant can disinfect the air. That is why, during the cold season and winter, bouquets of yellow inflorescences can not only please the eye, but also bring benefits.

Tansy looks elegant in beautifully framed mono-bouquets or compositions with meadow herbs. In addition, the golden color of the plant allows it to be added to any bouquets without disturbing their overall harmony.


- this flower has a delicate bud and a beautiful appearance, which even when dry retains its charm and charm.

Many women, and especially brides, dream of keeping bouquets of these flowers after their wedding. And despite the old and stupid belief that this is bad and harmful, many people preserve these enchanting bouquets for years.

Florists, unlike everyone else, know how to use not only the flower as a whole, but also its other parts as a composite material. This is how rose petals are used to create compositions on panels, man-made roses or flowers of unusual shapes.


is a plant with a fairly long flowering period, which, depending on its color, received the second name limonium or sea lavender. Small inflorescences stand out with their fringed shape and are well suited for creating a composition of dried flowers.

Drying limonium is the easiest to dry compared to other flowers. It is enough to put it in a vase without water, and after a short amount of time it will become dry.

Statice is most suitable for creating winter bouquets. These plants create a wonderful arrangement of flowers in a bouquet, largely due to the wide blue-violet color scheme.


is an ornamental herbaceous plant with beautiful bright red or orange fruits. It is thanks to the beautiful fruit boxes that the plant is dried and used for decoration.

Outwardly, they resemble small copies of Chinese lanterns, which warm you with their warmth. Therefore, floral arrangements made from physalis will add bright accents to the interior and fill it with a festive atmosphere.

- the plant is unusual not for its flowers, but for its seed head, which opens after the flower petals fall. These fluffy balls look incredibly attractive in a bouquet, you just want to touch them. They add originality and playfulness to any bouquet.
