    If you want to use those fox tails to make the broom: grab a decent limb from a tree, wire the fox tails around one end to resemble a broom and then use jute to tie around the top of the tails to look like a gnarly broom. 🤓

    They are beautiful! It's so fun to make something from the things you can forage from around the yard. I also love that its sustainable. I've been following some of the dried flower craft folks on instagram and I think it's such a great way to use up left overs that would normally just get composted! So, in your workshop that you build you should make a space for hanging flowers to dry for crafts in the fall:)

    "They are not twins." It is so much harder to try to make them exactly the same, you can loose your mind trying to make things like that the same, much wisdom in loving them not being "twins". They are gorgeous, really classy, very simple sweetness for fall decor. BTW, I wasn't feeling the statis🤔. I am inspired. I'll "circle back" to let you know if I made time to get r done. There is a lot to work with around here along the country roads. I cut a piece of something beautiful today at the doctor's office, way back behind the office, not part of their landscaping, I wouldn't do that. I'm hoping to collect some seeds from it.

    • @FlowerHillFarm
      @FlowerHillFarm  2 года назад +2

      That’s why I leave the process whole. I could’ve removed the entire part with the statice in editing but I feel like finding out something doesn’t work is more genuine than hand picking all the perfect ingredients in advance. We all have different tastes and it helps to show us what we like and don’t like 🥰 Thank you!

    • @FlowerHillFarm
      @FlowerHillFarm  2 года назад

      Those zinnias heads were not anywhere near ready for seed collection. Zinnia seeds are not true to the mother plant because of cross pollination. I need to know what I’m getting when I put the seed in the ground because I have a certain demand and sales outlet. Seed collection and storage can be a full time job and I already have a couple of those 🤷‍♀️💐🤣
