Lavender wands are not only beautiful decorative items, but they also release a wonderful scent that can enhance any room. If you’re interested in learning the art of making lavender wands, follow this step-by-step guide for creating your own stunning creations.

What You’ll Need

  • A bunch of fresh lavender stems
  • A narrow ribbon or string
  • Scissors
  • A small rubber band

Step 1: Harvest the Lavender

Start by harvesting a bunch of fresh lavender stems. Ideally, you should choose long stems that are still in full bloom. Gather enough stems to form a small bundle.

Step 2: Prepare the Lavender Stems

Once you have your bunch of lavender stems, remove any leaves that are close to the bottom of the stems. This will make the weaving process easier and ensure a neater end result.

Step 3: Bundle the Stems

Gently tap the bottom of your bunch of lavender stems on a hard surface to align the stems. Make sure the blossoms are all facing upward and are in tightly together. Hold the stems firmly to prevent them from moving around.

Step 4: Begin Weaving

Using the narrow ribbon or string, tie a knot around the stems, just below the blossoms. Leave a long tail of ribbon or string for later use. Now, take the ribbon and weave it over, under, and around the lavender stems in a crisscross pattern. Keep the tension firm but not too tight.

Step 5: Continue Weaving

Continue weaving the ribbon or string over, under, and around the lavender stems until you reach the bottom. Make sure to push the lavender blossoms down as you weave to create a tight, compact weave. This will ensure the lavender wands stay intact even after drying.

Step 6: Secure the Weave

Once you’ve reached the bottom of the stems, tie the ribbon or string tightly to secure the weave. Use a small rubber band to secure the bottom of the stems tightly together.

Step 7: Dry the Lavender Wands

Hang the lavender wands in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Allow them to dry for at least two weeks, or until they are completely dry to the touch.

Step 8: Trim Excess Stems

After the lavender wands have dried, use a pair of scissors to trim any excess stems below the weave. Be careful not to cut the ribbon or string.

Step 9: Enjoy Your Lavender Wands

Your lavender wands are now ready to be enjoyed! Place them in vases, hang them in your closet, or give them as thoughtful homemade gifts to friends and family. The lovely scent of lavender will add a touch of relaxation to any space.

Now that you’ve mastered the art of making lavender wands, you can get creative with different ribbon colors and patterns. Experiment with various sizes and lengths of lavender stems to create unique designs. Have fun and let your imagination soar!
