Simple Summer Hand Tied Bouquet

August 12, 2024 by Kimberly Snyder 8 Comments

Spread the love

A simple hand tied bouquet of faux flowers could be just the solution you are looking for to quickly decorate your dough bowl for summer!

A bouquet of bright yellow black eyed susan flowers looks so summery, doesn’t it? Let me show you how I made this simple Summer hand tied bouquet.

While it looks nice in this white enamelware jug, I think it would look even better in my oval dough bowl!

Oval Wooden Dough Bowl

I believe that my oval dough bowl is a reproduction but there are still many antique ones available.  Dough bowls used to be used when making bread.  The bowl was a great place for the bread to rise, the wood helped retain the heat which in turn helped the dough rise.  They are also sometimes referred to as trenchers. Mine is 20 inches long and oval.  I also have a hand hewn one that is round.  I like the oval shape of this one for use on my  coffee table in our gathering room.

Preparing the Simple Summer Hand Tied Bouquet

The stems are individually wired so they are easy to work with and “fluff” to make the stems appear more natural looking.  After fluffing the first stem,  I added a stem of yellow flowers to the back of the stem.  Then I added a second stem of brown eyed susans and two stems of wispy natural colored stems.  I used rubber bands to tied the stems together.

Oasis Muslin Ribbon ready to wrap stems

To give the stems a more finished appearance, I decided to use Oasis Raw Muslin Ribbon.  I cut a length of the ribbon and then tied it at the top of the stems.

I then wrapped the ribbon around the stems and secured it with a pearl headed pin.  I only used one pin but you could use more if you want.

Ready to Style the Dough Bowl

To add extra texture, I laid a piece of off white mesh fabric in the bowl and then placed the bouquet on top of the mesh fabric.  The piece of mesh is actually a strip I cut off of a rug pad.

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
