"modern tussie mussie"

Tussie mussies- small bouquets of flowers or the cone-shaped holder in which they are held- harken back to Victorian times.

Tussie mussies are a swell project for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to create an unique table decoration.

Here I created a modern version by tearing out a page from a botanical book, rolling the page into a cylinder and stapling the bottom.

I picked wildflowers, slipped them into the cone and finished with a coloful ribbon.
