You sounded so sweet that your grandma brought joy and great impact to your life.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Really original. Would like to try this on cones for a Christmas tree!

[@onetwocue]

Talking about artichokes, I love the look of dried artichokes.

[@katherinecornette5315]

Lambs Ear is one of my favorite plants! I’ll definitely try this!

[@marilyngandy2299]

How unique! Love your special memories of your Grandmother and Aunts too.

[@lindacannella7560]

Artichoke 😆😂 it’s very pretty!

[@cjaracz2757]

So glad I found this tutorial. Will check the garden for some fresh lamb's ear and give it a go!

[@health.bites.5615]

I've been working on adding more Lamb's Ears to my garden--at first they were sweet reminders of raising sheep (we used to live in Northern Michigan where I had a spinner's flock for spinning my own wool). But now I'd like to grow more to make some of these. I just love natural ornaments I can make from my gardens and my kitchen.

[@kristaself126]

This is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us. Looks like a good reason to grow Lambsear.

[@mariadi1069]

😯 that is so pretty

[@acommongardener2262]

Just reviewing this so I can make them. I was thinking I had to dry them! Glad I rewatched it. I have dried some.

[@akerudawn]

I'd love to see examples of decorating these with dried flowers, and an example of one with pressed leaves. I'm starting on my holiday ornaments soon.💚

[@jeannet9592]

That is so pretty. I bet sage would work too.

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

Lol!!! I’m so happy I watched your Ways to Grow Paperwhites video!!! You talked about these ornaments said they still look beautiful, so here I am!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this tutorial!! I fell in love with a 4 set of these but they were close to $40.00… I just…couldn’t do it though. They were priced too high? Or I’m too cheap? A little of both? NOW I can make all I could ever want for pennie’s!!!! Thank you!!! Merry Christmas y’all!!!!

[@RioTrini77]

Absolutely love this Idea...I never thought of doing this

[@jin8339]

First I watch the dried flowers in Crystal ball and now this...omg !! Such beautiful tradition you have and pass it on. I wonder what else ? You totally amazed me and thank you to your Grandma, Aunt's and family members. Merry Christmas to you and family. Now, I have to buy lambs ears 🥰🌺💐

[@stephanieblume5448]

So pretty and unique and cost effective. I'll have to try it after I find some lamb's ear. Thank you!

[@jcking6785]

So pretty! Wish I had some lambs ear! I’ll have to add some to my garden next year with this in mind.

[@amynovitski2659]

Ahh I wish I would have found this channel a month ago! What a beautiful project. Saving for next year.

[@alicedoty2389]

Love that idea, I made a wreath of lambs ear years ago. I will deffentlly be doing this.

[@flowers.on.demand]

This is awesome. My lambs ear is from my great grandma’s garden. And my boys have always loved it too. Thank you for the wonderful idea. 💙

[@aimeesgardens]

Love this!

[@jessicanazario4137]

What a great idea!

[@debbiealsabrook3169]

[@hollyb8993]

OMG I love those! I have a bunch oof Lambs Ear (looking too worse for wear to do this, this year) Im saving this video to do next fall ❤️❤️❤️

[@gwenyates5428]

Very nice

[@shellisspace]

Wow! I was JUST looking at my lamb's ear and noticing how nice it still looked and wondering if there was something I could do with it!. On point!

[@kylieky9169]

SUPER CUTE!

[@daiseegray9110]

Adorable ! I added hydrangeas to my Christmas 🎄 tree and it is so cute. Now I have a new project. Thanks! Happy holidays!

[@beckyann7572]

This was a very cool idea I will have to try it!

[@racheljeffers2486]

These are so pretty - you should open up a little Christmas Shoppe in December with your dried florals, ornaments, etc.!

[@LifesAProject]

Pretty😍 Thanks for sharing. -Stacy

[@rosedew7877]

Love it

[@melissameltsch948]

So clever!

[@karie3]

Love this idea. My lambs ear has been under lots of snow and now it's been raining for days. So i am sure they are pretty soggy. Maybe I could try and dry them

[@stampinghippo7157]

My grandma, my mom and I made these exact ornaments over 20 years ago. But we made them with pins with white pearls. Sometimes four hands have not been enough to hold the whole ting and pin the needles in. We had so much fun, especially around Christmas. Thanks for reminding me of that, now I´m of to search the ornaments, I haven´t seen them in a very long time. Happy gardening, a very merry Christmas and stay safe, Hanni.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

How wonderful Hanni! I had seen some using the pearl pins and I thought they were lovely. I think it was 20 or even 30 years ago I made these with my grandma and aunts. So many wonderful memories. Happy holidays to you!

[@nicholaskeeton9285]

Oooooo... fuzzy lambs ears. Soft and Cozy

[@dianegreiner4054]

This is so unique! It has the look of velvet. Do the ornaments retain their color over the years? Do you preserve them in any way?

[@kimberlyhibbert710]

❤❤❤

[@peoniesandpuppies5197]

How long do they Last? Wondering if they keep their color or if you have to make new ones yearly. Love the softness they add to the tree.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

They last for many years. My aunt has some that are 25 years old and still look great.

[@joshandshelbys]

Beautiful! Will these last or do you throw them out at the end of the season?

[@cynthiapetrone562]

Love all your garden Christmas ideas. I will try these. I tried for 2 years to grow lambs ear with no success. Any tips? I live on Long island, NY.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Hi Cynthia! Lambs ear can be grown in full sun to part shade. It does require well draining soil. If your losing it after planting my best guess is it may be in soil that does not drain fast enough. Perhaps try it in a area you know drains well, or in a planter if your soil stays wet.

[@cynthiapetrone562]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Thank you. I'll try a dryer spot

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

Danielle will these store well? I want to try these this year!!

[@kendallriggan8856]

What size styrofoam ball did you use? Thx. Love, love this idea. Thanks for sharing (TFS).

[@georgiacinq-mars1899]

I would love to know how to make these “ the old fashion way”.

[@meggiwick7601]

How gifted you are! Won't the leaves turn brown and dry? Greetings from Germany from Meggi

[@chelseacrockett4047]

These are stunning! Would they last for more than one year??

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Definitely! My aunt has some that are 25-30 years old and still look great.

[@dulcieosmonson7804]

These are beautiful! How long do the last? Do they turn brown or crunchy?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Hi there! They will stay true to original color for many years. My aunt has some that over 25 years. The color is just a bit faded.

[@anitaoleksy5470]

I wonder if this would work with sage leaves?

[@nancyweaver1157]

Beautiful!!! How long will these last?😄

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Hi Nancy! My aunt has some that are at least 25 years old.

[@nancyweaver1157]

Thank you and have a blessed Christmas!

[@georgiacinq-mars1899]

What did people use before there was styrofoam balls and hot glue

[@waughtercolors]

Can you use them from year to year? Or do they turn brown after awhile?

[@kimpozo3514]

Can lambsear stay in garden in winter in WI where it gets below zero? Or do i need transplant it in house?

[@katehenry2718]

How long do these last? Do they turn brown and icky or can you save from year to year when they dry out?

[@luckyelfie]

How long do these last?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

They will last for decades. My aunt has some that are over 25 years old.

[@ralugator]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Wow. I'll have to grow lamb's ear next year. 😍

[@suzieqgifts]

Can this be done with faux lambs ear? I want to make them for my tree, but I don't have lambs ear in my garden.

[@brittneyruss3307]

Will these dry this way? I’m new to drying flowers.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Yes they will! Our family has some that are 25 years old and still look great!

[@brittneyruss3307]

Oh that’s so exciting! Thank you!

[@amiller9240]

What size ball did you use?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Hi! I used 2.8 in balls.

[@joylovesart4893]

How long will it last?
