Plant Craft - Book

Discover the simple beauty of adding natural style to a space!

Not everyone has a garden—but with only a handful of materials and a

little bit of time, everyone can bring the beauty of nature into their

home. Plant Craft features projects inspired by the natural world

and made out of live plants, cut flowers, foraged branches, and more.

You’ll learn how to create a colorful floral mural, an elegant table

centerpiece, a serene underwater sculpture, a whimsical mobile, and

more. The step-by-step instructions are clear, easy to follow, and fully

illustrated with color photographs, and the projects vary in

difficulty. Given the right care, they all have the potential to grace a

home for a long time.
