Pearl hyacinths from straw silk
Learn here how easy to make the decorative early bloomers from paper yourself. First, cut from the lilac and purple paper small rectangles 4 cm x 15 cm. Each rectangle makes one flower.
How to create a flower
Stick the long sides of a rectangle on top of each other with double-sided adhesive tape so that the paper lies on top of each other, creating a hollow space. Now cut the paper from the folded side with several cuts running parallel to each other (distance approx. 1 - 2 mm each to the next cut). In this way, small loops are created.
Now apply another tape to the long side of the paper where you have already stuck the double-sided tape. Now, starting from the top of the floral stem wire and with the side of the double-sided tape facing the wire, begin to wrap the cut paper down around the stem wire in a spiral.
Now you can wrap the rest of the floral stem wire with florist tape to conceal the area between the flower and the floral style as well.

Craft green leaves
Cut strips of the green straw silk to any length and tape them around the floral stem wire with double-sided tape. To achieve the most realistic look, then cut the leaves into a tapered leaf shape.
Arrange the flowers
Glue all the crafted flowers and leaves onto the grass mat with hot glue. You can easily hide the glue spots under some moss. Your new spring decoration is ready!
