How to make the display case
You don’t need very much. A jaunty pineapple (from the bromeliad family), hearts on a string, a couple of design books, plant spray and a nice cabinet. That’s all! If you get tired of your display after a while, try mixing it up with dried leaves in attractive frames, a single flower in a vase or your favourite book.
Combine opposites
Work with opposites to give a playful effect. Combine a mysterious, dark flower with a colourful collection of cheerful blooms. Marry a dried flower with a fresh bloom from the same species. Classic vase for a mini-bouquet? Opt for an attractive glass sprayer. Crisp books with modern covers? Place a dusty encyclopaedia alongside them.
