I love having flowers around the house, but they are times of the year when that is not possible. I recently came across Sola Wood Flowers, These are not your typical flowers, they are eco-friendly and sustainable. They are made from wood, which provides extra longevity and durability. Sola Wood Flowers look like real flowers and last a lifetime.
Sola wood comes from a tapioca plant root. It is a tropical species of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge) family. Poinsettias and castor oil plants also belong to this family. The tapioca plant is known by many names: cassava, manioc, arrowroot, and sometimes yucca. The Cassava plants grow in tropical climates. These plants are extremely drought resistant.
Sola Wood Flowers are unique and handmade. Every single sola flower is created by hand no machine is very used. Every flower is composed of petals that are hand-cut from the delicate sola wooden sheets and then composed to create gorgeous, realistic flowers. Sola wood Flowers headquarters is in Ogden, Utah, and was the number one supplier of wood flowers in the US since 2017.
Sola wood flowers are available in over 150 flower styles, so pretty much you can make anything that you could create with cut flowers. I recommend looking at pictures and getting your inspiration of sizes and textures. Sola wood flowers can easily be dyed any shade, so all you need to do is select the individual flowers that best match your inspiration.
Sola wood flowers sometimes lose their perfect shape during storing or shipping. You should not get worried, they are super easy to reshape. All you need is some warm water and a few minutes for your time. First, dip a sola wood flower into a bowl of warm water just enough to get it wet. Try not to soak it as thick sola wood might tear apart.
Once the sola wood flower is wet, start reshaping its petals, starting from the outside. You will see how easy the whole process is. Once you are done reshaping, let them dry for 12-24 hours. You can also reshape dyed sola wood flowers are they remain relatively resistant to water.
Of course, the list is endless of what you can do with sola wood flowers. The brand offers flower packs, DIY craft kits, home decors, and floral arrangements for all occasions including holidays, weddings, and anniversaries.
I would love to hear what are your favorite tools and techniques to create sola wood flower arrangements. Let me know. Also if you have any questions, let me know.
