It's All About Twine

Twine is one of those items you can use for almost anything and is both readily available and inexpensive so you can use a lot or just a little.

Above, the twine is used to literally tie this look together. Below, add a vintage key or ornament to add more depth and character to your centerpiece.

 For those of you looking for more of a challenge find (or buy) twigs like pictured above. Depending on the size of your flower pot or vase you may need larger or smaller twigs. Using your twine you are going tie the twine around each individual piece and then use the twine to tie the next twig and so forth. Once you have a desired length you will tie the twine together to keep the twig covering closed. This is a sure conversation piece!

How fun is this? Take a piece or two of newspaper and morph it to the shape of a carrot. Using a spray adhesive (my personal favorite) generously cover the newspaper. Take the twine and wrap it around the newspaper pulling tighter at the tip and getting looser at the top. Take blades of grass or any foliage you would like, and using scotch tape bind it together. With the foliage tape side down put it into the newspaper. You just created your carrot top! To color the twine use orange chalk or any color imaginable. You can do this once the twine is wrapped around the newspaper or before.

A rustic and chic look, tying twine around a bouquet hold everything in place all the while look fabulous! I love this looks so much I used it last September in my own beach-chic wedding!

Using the same method we used to create our carrots you can also make eggs! In lieu of newspaper use a plastic egg as your foundation and glue gun the twine on.
