Fragrant Honeysuckle and Rosemary Luminary

Happy Tuesday, Friends and welcome to this month's Creative Craft Blog Hop hosted by Sara from Birdz of a Feather! I shopped my garden to create today's craft: a fragrant luminary featuring honeysuckle and rosemary. Join me and my talented friends for fun crafting inspiration

If you hopped over after visiting Donna from Modern on Monticello, I know you enjoyed her cute kid-friendly craft! I gathered two of my favorite scents from the garden: honeysuckle and rosemary! However, you can personalize your luminary with any fresh flowers or greenery you prefer.

Before I share the tutorial, here's a view of the finished luminary before and after lighting the candles.

Once you gather flowers and/or greenery, you will also need floating candles and a clear glass vase or even a mason jar. Start by adding water to the vase. Next, arrange the fresh flowers as desired. Last, top with floating candles.

Although I alternated the honeysuckle and rosemary, you'll notice from this peek at the back side that the rosemary floated toward the back while the honeysuckle stayed toward the front. I find the natural arrangement lovely and as you might imagine, it smells heavenly!

  4. This is so unique and super cool using fragrant flowers and greenery to make a luminary, Cecilia! Using honey suckles bring back childhood memories of picking and bringing them home to smell!

  8. You just took me back to childhood Cecilia! My best friend and I plucked honey suckle from her mother's bush, thinking we could create our own perfume, I can assure you, our former six year old selves knew nothing of perfume making, and it was a disaster! The most vile smell... but it does not deter me from still from the smell of honeysuckle now. I love your display. I also have that exact same dresser scarf, it was my grandmother's. What a wonderful way to display your freshly picked spoils.

  9. Cecilia, I brought 3 floating candles a few months ago and they are still in their paper wrapping. You've given me the inspiration to get them out and make a pretty arrangement. We have plenty of rosemary. The honeysuckle reminds me of childhood as we had it growing along one side of our backyard when I was a kid. I remember sucking the sweetness out. Thanks for the nostalgic thoughts.

  10. What a great idea! I bought several chocolate mint plants recently and might try it with snippets of those. My honeysuckle in Maine isn't out yet. I bet lilacs would be nice, too! I wonder if I could make the house smell good with oregano and rosemary--like I'd been cooking!

  11. I am sure that smells so good. I walk my daughter's dog most afternoon and there is a field of honeysuckle behind her house. It is wonderful to smell during my walk. I may have to clip some and bring it home to try this out. Thanks for sharing the idea.
