Offcut Dried Flowers
The flowers you receive are the ones shown in the picture for each colour listing. The sizes of the flowers are all different and this is due to how Mother Nature grows them. The offcuts range from 1cm - 10cm long (some are possibly longer). What you see in the picture is what you will receive and there are approx 50 pieces of dried flowers in each box.
The dried flowers are ones that we are unable to use due to being too short or wonky so rather than throw them away we are selling them at a discounted price. They can be used for crafts or for bakers on cakes and cupcakes. If you are using them on cakes please ensure you follow your own food hygiene & safety guidelines.
Photos are examples of possible sizes in your box.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
When your flowers arrive
- Gently remove from packaging.
- Give the stems a little wiggle in the vase to loosen them.
- Use your fingers to fluff pampas, or a hair dryer on a low/warm setting held 30–50cm away.
Everyday care
- Keep in a dry area - no water needed.
- Handle gently, stems are delicate.
- Dried flowers and pampas last up to 3+ years; colours may fade over time.
- Light shedding is natural.
- Dust with a hair dryer or fan on a low/cool setting, 30–50cm away.
- Do not use hairspray as it changes the texture.
Safety
- Keep away from flames and heat (highly flammable).
- Do not digest; keep away from children and pets.
- Some stems may be dyed or treated.
- If using near food, follow hygiene guidelines.
Extra Large Pampas Tip
- XL pampas may look flat after transit. Use a hair dryer on a low/warm setting and blowing down the stem. Ideally do this outside to restore fluff.
