Get in the fall spirit with this arrangement! Cattails grow near ponds, creeks and other wetland areas and look awesome in indoor and outdoor arrangements. You can even spray a laquer onto the cattails to preserve them. I put them in a vase with some water and added a few other natural elements to the arrangement. Love this look for autumn/fall décor.
Supplies:
· Garden cutters/ pruning sheers
· Large glass vase
· Modge podge or other clear sealer
· Cattails (usually found near ponds)
Step 1:
Locate and cut cattails and other plantings to go in your arrangement. I like cutting cattails at the end of summer and early fall while they are still in good condition. I like to keep the stems of everything long, you can always cut them down if needed.
Step 2:
Spray cattails with modge podge clear sealer and let dry.
Step 3:
Cut and arrange cattails and plantings in large glass container. I like to stagger the heights of different elements in the container for a multi dimensional effect.
Step 4:
Add water to the container and display your arrangement for the perfect autumn/fall décor!
