Welcome to Xiao Chu's Chrysanthemum Art School I'm floral artist Wu Miyan The Lunar New Year is approaching Today we'll teach you how to make a peony window decoration art piece The project we've prepared today is a wooden window featuring a glass-like pattern of crabapple blossoms Later we'll show you how to transform this wooden window into a floral decoration and hang it on the wall Before we begin We'll begin with today's flower selection Alright for the first step we need to drill holes into the wooden window frame since it has no hanging points so we can thread the hemp rope through So we'll expect to drill two holes at the top of this window later on before doing so we need to confirm the window' s dimensions—its size is 25 centimeters After dividing 25 centimeters we get 12.5 so we'll make a mark around the 12.5 point roughly at the 12.5 mark We expect to drill a hole on both the left and right sides of this center point then pull the rope up through them so those two holes must be equidistant Because if you pull here and pull there at the same time the piece will end up crooked so we pull separately One centimeter on each side is enough Alright let's mark one centimeter on each side Once the marks are made we'll take out our drill I've chosen a 6 5mm drill bit for this drill Now we're going to drill it Alright when using the power drill we must be careful We recommend standing while using the drill for better leverage now we'll drill one centimeter to the left and one centimeter to the right of your center point Alright we've already drilled two holes up here so now we'll thread the hemp rope through them and pull it up through the top Then it's up to you how long you'd like it to be Once we've made both ends equal in length just turn it around and pull it up And there you have your decoration simply hung with a hemp rope Alright now we'll begin working on this piece Next we'll place a layer of dried sponge here First let's confirm its length Let's confirm its thickness—just make ours about the same so we can leave it like this Mark it so we can proceed with the cut below Alright now then we need to insert the sponge into this area so we don't actually need it this tall—let's just trim it down a bit Then on the other side we'll fill that in as well Wait a second we need to do it this way—wait there's a slight uneven spot we'll fix it later—let 's just use the glue gun for now Glue them onto the wood Then the glass side is also stuck We also glued the bottom of the other piece Apply some adhesive here near the glass as well Now that it's securely glued trim off the excess material above the wooden frame Our first floral material is this round-leafed foliage we want to place the round- leafed foliage on the edge here Let's start by making a straight cut on it Next I'd like to use some The mountain turtle comes to do some lines The mountain turtle is a bit heavy now let's help it lose some weight I hope the mountain turtle is positioned just a bit higher up in this spot That mountain turtle has thorns so be careful when handling it Alternatively when arranging flowers first prepare the materials by trimming off all the thorns to avoid getting pricked during the process The mountain turtle has arrived at this location I also want some mountain turtles with downward-facing lines I wonder if there's a more elegant line—this one should work We'll use this one then we'll trim it slightly same as before— this way it feels a bit heavier so we'll just give it a light cut Let's give it a bit of depth We don’t want its design to be flat—we wanted it to project slightly forward with a sense of three-dimensionality like this It will have a forward- facing line next this is Shanmao Jian this Shanmao Jian is from our segment last year introducing materials suitable for dried flowers back then we filmed it for the video That's right at the stage before and after drying that's the demonstration of mountain longan— take a look it's been nearly a year now and the floral material is still in excellent condition We place a shanmao sword at this spot in front of your round leaf Then find a larger one and place it higher up like here Alright so we have two types of statice flowers Same flower material again Just like we did last time in that episode introducing dried flower materials back then we used fresh globe amaranth And how it looks after drying That's also been sitting for nearly a year already This is its current flowering condition So today all these works we're using fresh flowers that are air-dried or already dried fresh flowers those already-dried flowers they all come from fresh flowers Direct natural drying So like mountain turtles these are suitable for direct fresh flower natural drying Well you'll notice that its flower stem is relatively thin and soft if you encounter such a situation you can thread wire through it or try gently rubbing it to see if you can guide it to the desired position —if that doesn't work then… It's just about threading the wire—good as I expected it to be in this position Let's try wiping it first if that doesn't work we'll use wire instead It's acceptable so let's just let it naturally unfold in this way and also add some small strawflowers gently placed in this spot Alright let's wipe two more Just now the first bloom had a slightly weak stem so we supported it with wire Alright let's trim it with wire cutters then secure the wire to its original natural stem using floral tape Alright we're four chrysanthemums short then Same flower material as before is Golden Lotus The Golden Lotus is fresh today So let's trim the Golden Lotus for use Fresh Golden Lotus will naturally dry over time So we don't need to water it—let it gradually become a dried golden lotus within this artwork Alright let's keep it right here Then we'll add a bit more golden lotus to incorporate more yellow elements into the piece Good add a golden lotus branch between the flowers In between we'll add some golden lotus blooms as smaller accents to highlight the yellow center That's how we'll handle the golden lotus for now Next the flower material is one with blooms The eucalyptus leaves then dyed golden Let's trim them a bit Let's add some embellishments—like the bottom-left bottom-right and center areas and also sprinkle a few around the lower center Trim this section here I think the golden leaves in the Spring Festival artwork give off a shimmering golden aura evoking a sense of luck and prosperity Then in this piece I've incorporated a vintage spring bloom with a touch of gold elements next the flower material is lotus eye which I find to be a round granular shape It's a bit larger than a mountain turtle's shell and it has a fuzzy texture so I want this fruit's state in the piece to reflect that Smooth bright red turtle shells appear alongside more fuzzy textures and irregularly shaped circular lake -like eyes to create varied textures Alright let's clean the lake's eye As for the lake eye the lines of this piece are already quite clear so I'd prefer to use the lake eye simply as a filler—just for filling I won't specifically extend the lines too long That's fine we'll just add a subtle touch to the lake eye Next we'll choose this material It's a more earth-toned shade A touch of beige-grayish hue in the bunny tail grass I think pampas grass has a kind of lively pulsing quality and I find its fluffy texture incredibly cute I'd like it to have a more dynamic feel in this piece Compare leaving this body then leaping into the air so I'll just let it surge forward or upward—I'll have it move forward once naturally Next to We make each tuft of bunny tail grass as varied as possible with some strands long and others short Alright then let's leave it at that for now with the rabbit-tail grass The next floral material we also choose gold-colored富贵叶 which we dye in gold to enhance the luxurious elegance of this piece Alright actually Fugui Ye just needs to fill in the gaps now since our project is almost complete We'll just fill in the gaps briefly that's enough—we won't keep drawing lines anymore Alright now that the floral arrangement is complete this piece is about 98 percent finished To finish it off perfectly we'll add a small couplet right here Actually we don't place it right in the center—we position it so the piece resembles a small crescent moon and we put the couplet in the indented area Alright we can just use double-sided tape —just stick it onto this hawthorn window Well then our work is now complete This is the Spring Festival flower arrangement we designed today Peony Window Flower Style As for the base of today's creation we chose vintage peony-patterned glass Make a wooden-framed window If any student today wants to create this piece and doesn't know where to find a hawthorn flower window the truth is this type of glass is now extremely rare That's why I specifically hired a carpenter to make this window for me—we're making a few extra copies mainly because this piece will be featured during the Lunar New Year week at our small floral school Little Kitchen Floral Academy We start offering this course about one or two weeks before Chinese New Year so I’ve prepared extra batches in case anyone watching this video wants to make it themselves You can order this window from Xiao Chu Ju Floral School What about this window It's quite rare so I think it'd be worth collecting Alright let's review today's creations Today after we received this window we first drilled two holes in it and the size of those holes will match the diameter of my drill bit 0.65 centimeter Then thread a hemp rope through it to make a hanging ornament It can be hung on the wall especially if the window doesn't have a hook to hang it on Next we cut a thin piece of sponge and place it beneath your window then we begin inserting today’s main flower which we’ve designated for this area —the focal point flower We used Shanmao Jian also known as Dracaena fragrans and this is strawflower—both of these floral materials were prepared about a year ago as part of a theme focused on dried flowers If anyone's interested you can also go back and watch that episode dried flower materials back then we conducted an experiment by buying lots of fresh flowers and letting them air-dry naturally over the course of a month The flowers will still look beautiful one year later For today's piece we aim to use only dried flowers that were originally dried flowers Or if we don’t particularly care for the flowers after placing them letting them naturally dry out on their own then after finishing our main arrangement went ahead and added the golden river flowers Golden flower is fresh so after drying its particles become a bit smaller but it remains yellow actually the first step should be inserting this one first This is the original Puyeh leaf it's also dry Then we start inserting some with more defined lines—this is the mountain turtle We guide it to go up and down and among different particles the small red dots have this smooth vid red turtle-like appearance while others are less intensely red Then a slightly fuzzy irregularly shaped lake eye—this lake eye we also chose to be red—then let it vary in different particle sizes The varying textures of the fruits reflect abundance which is why we have numerous symbols of harvest such as bountiful floral arrangements like Golden River Flower Mountain Tortoise and Lake Eye What about the remaining floral materials Let the pampas grass pop out then use the leaves to fill in the empty spaces so in fact when we look at it this way the sponge is completely hidden Principally the front sixty to seventy percent we've already laid out all the lines we planned to pull out the remaining part just requires adding some low-lying leaves Like Fugui Ye or Lake Eye we all just use short pieces to fill in the gaps so actually this piece isn't difficult at all—I think it might be manageable for most people doing their own DIY projects The trickiest part might be drilling with the electric drill Finally the project is complete Then everyone can simply stick on a small Spring Festival couplet You can even write your own couplet So I think it's a truly perfect DIY project this piece was hung in our home during the Lunar New Year celebration and even after the holiday ended we kept it up and just left it there It can be stored for a whole year and still remain in this condition similarly when the mountain returns this is the golden ginkgo whose dried particles might be slightly smaller Or if the color isn't so bright it's still a beautiful dried flower artwork That concludes today 's lesson topic—Spring Festival Crabapple Window Decorations I hope you all enjoy this theme Wishing everyone a blessed Lunar New Year happiness and peace for your entire family and may the coming year bring you health safety and all your wishes fulfilled This is Wu Niyan floral artist from Xiao Chu Ju Hua Yi Little Kitchen Chrysanthemum Art Looking forward to every encounter with you
