After the long winter months, spring can’t get fast enough for most of them. In the meantime the days are getting longer again, the sun is gradually warming up again and here and there the flowers are even starting to sprout. At least the crocuses can now be seen more and more in full splendor. To get even more in the mood for spring, you should take a look at the following 4 flower DIYs.
1.) Hyacinths in a ball of wool
For this you need:
- hyacinth
- felt
- wire
- Wool
That is how it goes:
1.1) First remove the soil from the flower bulb. Then wrap the onion in a piece of felt. Wrap wire all around so that the felt stays in place.
1.2) Wrap the wool criss-cross around the tuber and knot the two ends of the wool.
2.) Colored flowers
For this you need:
- Glass with water
- Food coloring
- Flowers with the bloom as white as possible
That is how it goes:
Color water in a glass with food coloring. Now place the flowers in the colored water and watch how the flowers slowly change color. The flowers take different lengths of time to change their color. It also varies from flower variety to flower variety. You can expect about 5 to 10 hours for complete discoloration.
3.) Wax onion
For this you need:
- hyacinth
- water
- pink candle or pink wax
- white candle or white wax
That is how it goes:
First put the hyacinth in water and let it steep for about 60 minutes. Melt the wax in a warm water bath, then dip the tuber in the wax so that it is covered all around. Finally, use melted white wax to paint a pattern on the tuber.
4.) Moss ball
For this you need:
- normal potting soil
- Bonsai soil
- water
- Plant of your choice
- Peat moss
That is how it goes:
4.1 Mix normal potting soil with bonsai soil and water. Form a large ball in your hands, then break it in two. Then press it around the roots of the plant of your choice.
4.2) Now “wrap” the moss around the “globe” and twist a cord around it so that the moss, earth and plant stay together.
