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.
You will love these Joanna and a very calming acitvity 🙂

I have mine in pride of place 🙂 I meant to ask you had you actually made it, it’s wonderful and so pretty!
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 🙂
No, never made them, but I will now, thanks to you! Rooted out plenty of ribbon this evening! x
Oh great, share photos when you are done 🙂 I have some lovely new velvet ribbons I want to try next
Fab pictorial, and I love the lavender wand you sent me lately. 🙂
Thanks and so glad you like it
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.
Go on Tric, give it a try, you’ll be glad you did 😉
Wow, they look gorgeous! I love to keep lavender in my clothes drawers.
These are ideal for clothes drawers, wardrobes or even under your pillow 🙂
I have ALWAYS wanted to know how to make these. Great ‘pictorial’! I’m going to steal some lavender from the neighbours tomorrow 😉
Do!!! Give it a go, you will be hooked and you get the added bonus of all that lovely soothing lavender sent as you work!
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…
Even quicker and more rewarding than knitting, kind of… 🙂
