Product Details

Buy handmade pressed leaf ring 8cm - Wire or Maidenhair Vine

Pressed Wire Vine leaves aka Maidenhair Vine or Muehlenbeckia. The vine has been twined into a circle with inside diameter approx 8cm before pressing. The leaves dry to olive green which sometimes have a hint of mustard or khaki brown, with dark brown stems. Use for craft, herbariums and card making. Make a beautiful card by affixing bright flowers around the handmade circle to resemble a wreath. The leaves used are often variable in shade, shape and size, and the shape of the wreath can be naturally uneven due to the handmade process. Each leaf is generally approx 0.5 cm across, and the entire wreath is a little fatter than pressed flowers often are because of the way the stems wrap around each other (see image detail) and may be up to 0.5cm thick. Not for food use.


These leaves were grown and preserved in the UK in our own workshops on the South Coast. The last pic shows the plant growing in Sussex. This item is supplied loose (not affixed to a card) for use in your own projects and was inspired by traditional herbarium specimens. Herbariums are collections of botanical samples used for reference. There has been an influx of imported mass produced pressed flowers in the last few years. In order to illustrate the traceable sustainable nature of this handmade product (zero air miles!) we enclose collection data with this item, an example of which is shown in the image.

Our popular dried lavender is known for its high quality: clean grains and a great scent.

 

Make lavender bags or use the fragrant lavender grains in your own potpourri – we have plenty of ingredients to choose from if you’d like to blend your own. We also have ready made lavender home fragrance products.

 

Or buy a dried lavender bunch from Provence or the UK.

 

Dried flowers, pressed flowers, confetti petals and more – retail and wholesale

We press our own flowers in-house, and they are great used in craft projects such as resin jewellery, decorating mobile phone cases and card making.

Our large confetti department includes a rainbow of real dried petals. Natural confetti petals are biodegradable which makes them the best choice for many venues. Choose a single colour or mix them up! Supply wedding guests with a little glassine bag of petals. Buy wholesale confetti in bulk packs for larger weddings.

Our bunch range has been massively popular over the years and have been used for magazine photo shoots, award ceremonies and even Disney films! We hope to provide everything you need to make that special gift, bouquet or home arrangement. There’s so much choice we’ve divided it into sections and added some filters to make searching easier.

This dry floristry selection includes many popular dry stems, grasses and blooms plus more exotic varieties and foliage bunches in dyed or natural colours. We’ve been selling dry and preserved florals for twenty years so have accumulated a wealth of knowledge.

We sell a bunch selection grown in the UK and abroad, a selection of roses and seasonal blooms. These have a long shelf life but why not ring the changes from time to time with a seasonal update? UK bunches are slowly becoming more widespread which is surely good news for British growers.

Seasonality is becoming better known in mainstream floristry, and dry florals are no different. Think cool blues, lavenders and silvers for winter, zingy vibrant colours for spring and Easter, pastels for early summer, hot colours for late summer, oranges and earth tones for autumn and traditional reds and greens for Christmas.

Use dry blooms, foliage and grasses to make a mixed bouquet as a gift or display in a vase for home decor. Why not choose natural blooms for your main colour, foliage for background and grasses to add an informal element. Or go against the flow with random bright and dyed colours! To make things easy, we have added filters for colour and bunch type (such as foliage, seed pods, dyed, woody etc) where appropriate in the sections above.

Gift bouquets can be expensive so why not buy a simple dry bunch, which often come tied simply with an elastic band, and add your own ribbon and tag for that personal touch?

Use our florist sundries such as florist tape to make a flower crown or hoop, or ribbon and twine to tie your bouquet. Or attach your preserved florals onto a wreath.

We really hope you like our shop – it is first and foremost a floristry craft website, providing you with what you need to make that perfect bouquet, arrangement or gift. Floral crafts can also include aromatherapy and potpourri making so do check out our dried lavender, home fragrance and potpourri making sections if you’re looking for craft ideas.

Many of our items are available in a range of pack sizes, suitable for retail customers as well as wholesale. For the best wholesale price choose the biggest bulk pack sizes: VAT is already included and you don’t need to register for a special account.

Happy crafting!
