Discover the exquisite charm of this Handmade Snapdragon stem, individually crafted by Chantal in her Wheathampstead studio.
Made from specialist crepe paper in a delicate light pink colour, this enchanting piece features a little visitor - a sleeping red-tailed bee nestled within one of the flowers.
The stem comprises 9 open flowers, 3 large buds, 3 medium buds, 3 small buds, and 10 closed buds, complemented by 2 spent flowers at the base.
Measuring approximately 41 cm in height, this meticulously detailed creation adds a touch of nature's elegance to any setting, reflecting the artisanal quality and care inherent in Chantal's Paper Botanicals
Crepe Paper Snapdragon (Antirrhinum) and friend
Because every single flower is hand made, no two will ever be identical, just like nature!
To keep your flower in tip top condition, you can remove any dust with a hairdryer (cool, low blow), or a clean brush such as a make-up brush. Do keep them out of direct sunlight as they will fade.
All the single stems have a wire core making it easy to shape and bend the stems to create your perfect flower. They can also be bent or cut with wire snips to get the height that you desire.
To display your flowers in the vase of your choice, simply fill it with uncooked rice - this will ensure your blooms are held in perfect placement
