Silent snaps – making lavender wands

Lavender Wand
Lavender Wand

I LOVE lavender as many of you will already know. If you need convincing just check out my previous post on “All things Lavender“.

Every year I like to make something new with my little lavender harvest, last year I started making lavender wands and they were such a hit I got a lot of requests to make more this year. It is such a calming activity that I didn’t need much persuading. You can follow this tutorial that I found on line.

Here are my silent snaps to show you how it went …

    Really cool! I think our lavender flowers have just gone but I’ll be ready for next year, this is a brilliant idea.

      Thanks Emily and glad you like it although I did worry it would be like “sending ice to the Eskimos” something you probably had made hundreds of yourself 🙂

    Oh dear, they look beautiful, but I think the jump from lavender sprig to ribbon covered would be a little out of my league. I am such a disaster at these sorts of things, or anything crafty. I like the idea, but the reality is usually nothing like the picture.

    They look gorgeous! I wouldn’t have a hope of being patient enough but I can almost see that it might be therapeutic. Like knitting. Kind of…
