Decorative Packaging

Holidays and weddings are such a fun time to wear special Hair Bows to go with the special occasion! Whether you are looking for a baby hair bow, toddler or girl hair bows for the occasion I think you will find that these suggestions and the ones in previous posts will fit your needs.  Any of the Hair Bows and streamers can be attached to a baby elastic headband so babies can wear these adorable hair bows as well. Select the decorative ribbon, cut even lengths of the team colors, select a heavy coated rubber band, and tie a knot with the ribbon around the rubber band.  You can also pre-tie the bow and hot glue it to a hair barrette or clip.  Another great way is to pre-tie the bow and hot glue or use thread wound around a head band so that it does not show. This way you won’t have to tie a bow, or individual ribbons around the hair each time. All you have to do is wrap the rubber band around the hair and adjust the streamers or bow. How ever you choose to create the hair fashion accessory, you will have a perfect hair ornament every time.  Many of the items you may need to create your own version of this idea can be found on our website by clicking on the ribbon link in my post.

African Violets make a superb Mothers Day gift.  They do require some special attention so I have listed some hints below.  This stunning Violets and Butterflies basket is gloriously embellished with a decorative  grosgrain ribbon bow in a rich shade of violet.

The African violet originates in Africa and isn’t a violet at all, but belongs to the family of Gesneriaceae. The common name comes from the primary flower color, although you can find the “violets” in pink, blue and white flowers. They adapt almost perfectly to indoor life and they bloom almost continually.

Growing conditions;  Low humidity can be a factor but overall African violets adapt very well to home-growing conditions. They will thrive in a an environment of 70° to 75° temperatures during the day and not below 60° at night.

Watering;  The best practice in growing African Violets should be watered from below, or from above with a watering can with a long spout. The long spout lets you reach inside the foliage and wet the soil without splashing the leaves.

Soil;  African Violets like a rich soil; special soil mixes have been designed for them and can be purchased in the garden center. Be sure the soil is not packed too tightly as they like a well aerated soil and thrive in a more roomy pot.

Plant Food;  Just like the soil mixes for African violet suppliers have created specialty fertilizer for this one plant. This plant food should be applied periodically in amounts specified on the label and when repotting, transplanting or starting new plants from cuttings.

Miniature Roses as House Plants

Roses are always a welcomed gift for Mothers Day.  Most stores will carry potted mini roses that will bloom for a long time with proper care.  Pick up a wicker basket a bit larger than the potted plant, put a plastic liner in the bottom and dont forget a beautiful grosgrain ribbon bow. I like that it is a perfect color match to the rose color. 

Although mini roses do quite well in containers and you often see them sold as houseplants, many gardeners are disappointed by their performance indoors. As roses, they need full sun and good humidity. These are easy enough to provide in summer, but humidity drops considerably when the heat comes on indoors and roses will quickly become desiccated. Mini roses given as gifts will do best if transplanted outdoors.
