More traditional dried flower crafts | Corn craft with dried lavender

Posted on by Ruth

Traditional crafts using dried wheat, dried lavender and other dried flowers

A few weeks ago I published a post mentioning Glynn who likes to make traditional corn dollies from dried wheat, into which he sometimes incorporates some dried lavender stems.

He has recently sent me some more lovely photos of his work which I would like to share.

A tip he told me when making corn dollies is that the dried wheat stems are more pliable when damp, so best used this way for tight folding such as the plaits in the  bottom image.

Pretty egg decorations containing a tiny dried flower bouquet. Corn dollies with dried lavender as mentioned in my previous post.

This “sweetheart” design is my favourite using corn and dried lavender as it is slightly more abstract than the others.

    I would like to buy 2 Suffolk horseshoes with lavender bunch and two sweetheart designs
    With lavender flowers.
    Would it be possible for you to post them to me? I live in Aldeburgh, Suffolk and I
    Cannot drive at the moment. Where are you based?
    Please let me know and how much they are. I think they will make lovely presents!
    Thanks.

      Hi Sue, Thanks for your nice comment! Sorry for the delay in replying but we were away on holiday. I’m afraid we don’t sell the corn dollies – they were sent in to us by a lovely gentleman to look at a good few years ago. I don’t think he made them commercially, just for a hobby. I think there’s a range of corn dollies on Etsy, try https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/corn_dollies Best wishes, Ruth

      Hi Sue, Further to my previous reply I can put you in touch with the maker, who is currently selling horseshoe designs with or without lavender at £9 each. As it was some time ago, I’ll assume you found some elsewhere, however do reply if you’re still interested!
