    Here's How To Make A Floral Dog Leash For A Winter Wedding

    Because you love your dog, but *maybe* not enough to drape him in $300 worth of fresh winter flora.

    If you're planning a winter wedding (the best!) and including your dog (even better!!), you might want to give your dog a fancy leash for the big day.

    You could have your florist make you one with fresh flora...but making your own with fake flowers is incredibly easy.

    Because you love your dog, but maybe not enough to drape him in $300 worth of fresh winter flora.

    Here's how to make your own:

    Supplies

    - Dark green dog leash (I used this one)

    - Flocked Lambs Ear Leaf spray (x2)

    - Gold bay leaf spray (x2)

    - Cream berries (x1)

    - White cabbage rose spray (x3)

    - Eucalyptus spray (x1)

    - Small pinecones (x1)

    - Faux pine branches (x2)

    - Small bolt cutters (after two years of literally wrestling with faux floral stems and ruining pairs of scissors, I finally bought these and I am SO GLAD I did!)

    - Hot glue gun

    Instructions

    1. Use the bolt cutters to trim the stems off all of the faux florals, leaving about 1/4-inch of stem on each.

    2. Use the hot glue gun to attach a layer of the gold bay leaves to one side of the leash. Flip and repeat on the other side.

    3. Attach the remaining flora in layers.

    4. Finish by gluing on a few pine cones, berries, and roses.

    These are more like garnish and can be used sparingly.
