Flower School!

The Flourist recently had the good luck to meet an ultra inventive mum who was looking for something interesting to do for her daughter's 13th birthday... She had already planned a day of treasure hunting in the city, and a sumptious birthday breakfast and dinner treat and was looking for something to fill in the morning...

So, we planned a little craft activity. We went along to teach 4 13 yr olds and 1 10 yr old the basic techniques of wiring and making a button hole, and then building on that to make corsages.
They were amazing! They were completely serious and into it from the get go... from wiring, to taping and putting all the bits together, they were fantastic!

This is a great idea for an older child's birthday or even for a hen night activity before a night on the town.

We had so much fun teaching them the steps - we would love to do it all again!!
Have a look at the finished products!
Floura-tastic ;)

And as a treat at the end of the session, we made them little chocolate flower cupcakes... needless to say they did not need any lessons how to gobble them down ;)
