With wands of lavender in the nightgown drawer and upon the sheet shelf, we have the smell of summer in winter. Making lavender wands or bottles is a way to preserve the clean smell of lavender. 
It's not hard to do and doesn't require great dexterity. By weaving the ribbons among the lavender stalks, the fragrant buds are enclosed -- thus their fragrance is preserved. They make great gifts, too, either tied along with a box on a Christmas gift for a gardening friend as an "extra" or several in a box as THE gift.

Martha, this is a great idea. The color of the ribbon in your photos is spot on. Very nice!
Oh how beautiful the Lavender wands are. What a fabulous idea and my French Lavender is blooming to beat the band. As soon as it gets warm here though it won't be so I will cut each and every lavender stalk to make Lavender wands. Thanks for the idea my friend.

Fantastic idea. They are so pretty. I'm going to try that next year.
