Flower Garden Welcome Bag
by Mary Wilkins
This quick, easy craft is very unique, as well as pretty.It will make any visitor feel welcome and put a smile on their face. I have received many compliments on this craft from friends and neighbours.
Supplies:
1 old purse with strap or handles
Faux flowers and ivy
Open the purse and place long stemmed flowers along opening.
In the next row, place a different coloured flower to accent the others.
In the front fow, place ivy to hang down and over the front of the purse. Hook some of the ivy around the flowers to keep everything intact. Arrange until it pleases you. You could also add a small garden tool or perhaps a butterfly figure to finish it off.
Hang on your door on a hook just as you would any wreath.
