How to make strawflower baubles – these jewel-like festive decorations will instantly elevate your holiday decor

Cream and pale pink strawflower heads in blue bowl.

The process of creating stunning strawflower baubles is so simple, but the effect is magical. I often liken the appearance of dried strawflowers to jewels - for their shiny petals and rich depth of color. When mindfully brought together to create these baubles, they will elevate your Christmas decorating ideas to a whole new level.

I have grown and dried strawflowers, also known as xerochrysum, for use in my floral designs for years, and especially around the holiday season. The stems of these flowers when dried can become brittle and weak, and oftentimes the heads would break off whilst I was designing with them. Rather than rendering them unusable, I always saved them for use in festive crafting projects, and this one is my absolute favorite.
