I made my very first lavender wand today. It wasn’t as if I’d seen them eons ago and have been longing to make one. Not all all. I hadn’t even heard of them until this morning. Have you? Well, I stumbled across a blog post about them, looked on the internet, found some gorgeous images including these below, found this YouTube tutorial for ribbon-less wands, and then this tutorial for how to weave in the ribbon. I turned my head to the left, and looked out of my window at the lavender bushes in my garden. The project was under way! About 15 minutes later, I had my finished wand in my hand. Plus a sweet little bouquet that’s going in my undies drawer. Pretty cool, huh! I think next time I’ll see if I can make one of those big fat wands. I like them.

Below is a picture of my wand. A little rough round the edges, but I’m happy with this first attempt.

smells divine!
