How to make a hand tied with just 3 roses.

Flowers are ripping off around Valentine's day. A bouquet is over 50 pounds and one stem of rose cost 5 pounds. How can we be money wise? I advise you to buy just 3 roses at a flower shop. By collecting plants at a park or a garden, you can make a natural hand tied.

You would like red materials for Valentine's day. On February, skimmia and rose hip have a lovely red colour. Just pick them up.




All materials but red roses were collected at Writtle College.

  • Rose: 3 stems
  • Skimmia: 6 stems
  • Rose hip: 3 stems
  • Foliage: 6 stems
  • Dried foliage: 3 stems



Skimmia japonica 'Rubella'

Rosa Summer wine 'Korizont'
