Lilies of the valley can be not only alive, but also hand-made crafts. This will keep the garden looking fresh and unusual all year round. To make a composition, you will have to stock up on a steel bar, bottles and strong thread.
Recently, hand-made things are gaining more and more value, because the result is unique items that cannot be found in any store. Such fruits of your own manual labor can be used anywhere, and the exterior of the house is no exception.
Homemade lilies of the valley will perfectly decorate the garden, and plastic bottles will have to be used to make them. There are several ways to turn an idea into reality. The first option involves the use of 3 steel rods, 20 opaque white plastic products and 6 meters of reliable thread. Green paint will help to decorate the entire structure in a toga. Bottles should not be removed from the caps, they will also come in handy.
The first option for making lilies of the valley
Bottles should be cut open so that their central part forms prongs, the bottom should be discarded, and the top part will form a flower bud. Each lid should have 2 holes, which are useful in order to be able to thread a thread through them. Cut lengths of thread so that each of them has a length of 30 cm. The thread must be tied, leaving its ends free.
Now comes the turn of the steel rods, which need to be bent, covered with paint, and then the bottles are tied to them, using threads, which should also be painted. At this point, the lilies of the valley are ready for installation on the site near the house. The design will look more elegant if it is supplemented with leaves, for which any material can be used. You can use garden mats for this.
The second option for making lilies of the valley
This time, the work will use wire, the same bottles and a wrapper, which can be replaced by scotch tape for decorating bouquets of flowers.
The composition will be based on a wire frame. The frame will be presented in the form of stalks, on which the blanks of the buds, cut out of the plastic base in advance, should be strengthened. The resulting frame should be wrapped with the available green tape.
An excellent option that will allow you to replace the tape and make the structure more durable is the method of staining the elements in green, during which you can use enamel. This will protect the frame of the flower arrangement from external influences of sunlight and precipitation. And for the winter period, the flowers can be left on, which will make the snow-white carpet in the garden more attractive.
