Lavender Tussie Mussies
The Tussie Mussies were either carried or tucked between the breasts to be a form of personal perfume and to ward off bad smells.
To make a Lavender Tussie Mussie you will need a small bunch of flowers either of a single color or a variety of different colors such as white, pink and purple. You will need 8-30 fresh blooms from your Lavender flower garden.
- To begin select 4-5 fresh flower stems and tie together about 3 inches from the base of the flower head to be in the center of the bouquet.
- Next arrange more Lavender flower stems of a different color around the first grouping.
- Finally add the final ring of flowers to the arrangement and tie snugly at the same place as the first.
- Tie a decorative ribbon bow around the bouquet covering your tie and cut the stems off so that they are all of the same length. You may wrap the stems with ribbon after you cut them.
