 Dried flowers or reeds can be arranged aesthetically to
brighten up your homes. The advantage of dry flower arrangement is that they'll
last much longer when compared to fresh flowers. Here we have arranged the reeds
in a small cane basket. Its a simple arrangement that anybody can try out and
give as a gift to your dear ones.

Procedure Collect
different reeds or grasses. Dry them in the sun.
Make small
flowers with tissue paper as shown in the picture. Cut out small equal circles
from the tissue paper. OR cut out square pieces of tissue paper, four fold them.
Cut the open edges in a semi circle. Open the pieces to get perfect rounds or
circles. Stick two or three of them together in the centre, crinkle them a bit
and wrap them around a thin aluminium wire or stick. Or make any other flowers
given in the paper flower section.
Colour
the dried reeds by applying glitter or fabric paint. Take some glue in the brush
and apply on the reeds. Dip the glued reeds in glitter. Apply paint, any colour
of your choice, on the reeds with the brush. Then arrange reeds along with the
paper flowers in a piece of oasis (green sponge like material) and place it inside
the Cane basket. Your cane basket is ready.
