Floral Fan

Bring the garden indoors with this lovely floral fan. The splendor of autumn palette is reflected in this beautiful arrangement.


TO MAKE THIS FLORAL FAN YOU WILL NEED:

  • 9" fan base
  • 25 to 30 sprigs of statice (various colors)
  • 7 to 10 strawflowers
  • 10 to 15 sprigs of mauve
  • 10 to 15 sprigs of burgundy baby's breath
  • 24" of 3" wide tapestry ribbon
  • Floral wire
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

1. Begin by attaching enough sprigs of statice to cover the top 3" of the base. Be sure to leave at least a 2" stem on each sprig. The stems can be trimmed further once the glue has dried.

2. Layer the strawflowers over any remaining stems of the statice, creating a 2" band and covering any holes or stems.

3. Attach the baby's breath throughout the entire base as accents and where needed to fill in.

4. With ribbon, tie a bow and glue below the last row of flowers.

Eating Well to Control Your Health

Eating well and managing your fat intake, maintain your healthy weight, staying active and not smoking are choices we can make to reduce total cholesterol and "bad" cholesterol levels and increase "good" cholesterol. Changing what you eat can reduce your blood cholesterol level. If the level does not come down after a few months, your physician may recommend a stricter diet.

A healthy, balanced diet can lower your risk of CVD. If you already have cardiovascular disease, balanced diet will help you to reduce the chances of getting it worse and it will also help you to stay in shape longer and as healthy as possible. Coronary heart disease is a major cause of death in the Western World and increasingly elsewhere. Although it is a multifactorial disorder, the integrated role of diet attracts enormous attention since it is the one component which can be modified by all and is strongly correlated to population behaviour.
