Healed by gentle scent ♪ How to make a lavender stick

Good afternoon! It is Uchiumi of the staff. It is hot every day, isn't it?
The other day, we made "lavender sticks" by harvesting lavender from our herb garden!
I would introdue how to make it.

<The preparation(for one lavender stick)>

Lavender harvested in the morning on a sunny day .... Small amount (odd number)
Thin twine ... about 100cm
Your favorite ribbon with a width of about 5mm ... about 150cm

<The way of making>

1.Make an odd number of lavenders (13,15,17, etc.).

2.Adjust the position of the flower, imagining the thick shape when it becomes a stick.

3.Remove excess leaves. At this time, keep the fallen flowers and buds without throwing them away.

4. Put the flowers together with twine to keep the lavender from falling apart. At this time, put the removed leaves and fallen flowers and buds together.

5. Fold back the stem at the part of the most under flower to hide every flowers.

6.Knit the ribbon with the folded part up. First, pass the center of the ribbon under the stem.

7.After passing over the stem, next pass under the stem, weave the ribbon.

8.After weaving the entire flower, tie the ribbon under the flower. *At this time, pull out the other end of the ribbon from under the stem (to tie the ribbon last).Cut out the protruding stem with fresh flower scissors.

9.The lavender stick is completed ♪
