you had.. What Materials Will You Use?.
Start with a long strip of fabric.Mine was about 1.5 yards long and about 7 inches wide.
There was nothing exact about my process.I just eyeballed it and ripped, so just go ahead and use whatever amount of fabric looks good to you!.Next, you’ll need to grab your iron and iron out your fabric.
When it’s nice and crisp, fold one side in and iron it flat like this:.Fold the other side in and iron it too!
Make sure that your frayed edge ends up landing somewhere in the middle-ish of your strip so that the frayed edge doesn’t stick out when your bow is all done.
You could start with a wider strip and fold it in again so everything’s totally hidden, but that’s not really necessary because nothing will be showing once the bow is complete..Last year we had a weird early hot spell and then a late frost and it pretty much killed the season for flowering trees.
I was hopeful, but no flowers came all year..This year more than made up for it though.
Being a first-time lilac tree owner, I’ve discovered that I had every right to be excited about this tree and that lilacs are awesome.. Lilacs give so much and ask for so little in return.As long as they get established, they pretty much keep to themselves and don’t really need anything from you..
