Hi! Not sure if this would work or be practical, BUT…🤭 have you thought of possibly crocheting some type of cover “cozie” thing for the vases? It may add that layer of protection if they fall, will cover small cracks, and it’s crochet. I don’t know, just a thought 😊 Edit: you made a good choice, it looked really clean, cohesive, and the flowers stood out nicely! ❤

Thank you so much!! I totally would but I just have no time :( but I think with these new ones they're super flexible and bouncy so theres no way they would break even if they fell from super high!

Your stall looked so cute! You inspired me to give crocheting flowers a try and I love it! It's not as finicky as I thought it would be and I really enjoy it! I find your videos very calming and really enjoy them :)

OK I don't crochet but I DO do markets. Is THIS option possible?? When you make your flowers leave a portion of the stem WITHOUT yarn and then whatever vase/bucket/can you choose put SAND down in it as opposed to rocks. Then you can put the unfinished part of the stem down in the sand. Also sand is heavy so I feel like since we use sandbags to hold down our canopy it would work for your buckets as well. Then when someone purchases you take your wire cutters and chop off the unfinished part of the stem. When you purchase "fresh" flowers they would cut the ends off. Just a thought like I said I don't crochet so I'm clueless how you make your product. Good Luck What if you got a short CLEAR tubby and put that on your table with the buckets inside it on your booth just like you were thinking about transport.?? After watching your videos and seeing how the tablecloth weights don't do crap and I am in a VERY WINDY area!! ok let's rephrase that I am in a EXTREMELY WINDY area as there is no trees or tall buildings to block the wind AT ALL!! I was thinking about sewing a seam on the bottom of my tablecloths/table runner and making a pocket to fill with sand at the bottom to hold them down so they don't blow up. Kinda like a built in beanbag/sandbag along the whole bottom of the tablecloth/runner.

@madewithapril

10 ай бұрын

omg the sand idea is so fun - cutting off the ends makes them more like real flowers too!! The idea of transporting unsealed sand gives me a bit of anxiety tho ;; it's also super heavy!! I think if you could make them removable the beanbags/sandbags would work for the tablecloth but having it permanently attached makes it super annoying to put the table cloth on every time!! They also sell ones that attach to the bottom legs of your table but I just don't like the look of it hahaha

Your flowers are gorgeous.

For bins that are too wide you can use a green plant foam. You can place weights under the foam and stick the stems into it to keep it still? I hope that made sense lol 8:44 😅

@madewithapril

Unfortunately the foam ruins the tips of the stems over time :( Also they get really messy when people try to put them back into the bucket and then hit the foam and then stop trying to put them in all the way so they get all tippy :S

You could probably put some sand at the bottom of the container and cut a circle out of white plastic and glue it over the sand. It should hold it down.

Ahh I actually tried that once but the bump of the magnet (strong ones are usually kinda big) makes it more wobbly! I was kind of just too lazy to do anything with it hahaha maybe it if was white, but the beige/off-white color would have been hard to paint match! I like the Fleur idea though!

@sarahnoda

10 ай бұрын

@madewithapril I wouldn't waste time matching the color. You could either just paint that rectangle with a pretty pastel color, or alternatively spray paint the entire container with an off white, but 8 think painting the entire thing is more time consuming. I'd totally just tape off and paint the entire rectangle in different colors and then use a paint pen or stencils to write on each one.
