Today we look at the new star of dried flowers: Pampa herbs. We'll use them to decorate a mirror with a macramé frame. You can also create a wall hanging without a mirror, with just two wooden rings covered with natural rope and dried flowers. The other dried flowers added to this tutorial are: Lagurus or "hare's tail", oats and Japanese carder.
We stayed with neutral and light colors for this tutorial, but we also have colorful dried flowers and branches. Feel free to customize your creation to match your decor. For example, Lagurus are also available in blue, yellow and pink. There are also pink-tinted pampas grasses.
For this tutorial, you can use only one colour of pampas grass. For example, natural or bleached. And if you want more variety, use both.
The macramé knot used in this tutorial is the frivolity knot. These are half-key knots made in one direction and then in the other. These knots will allow you to decorate the wooden circle, but also to hide the edge of the mirror and to fix it to the wooden circle.
