Get out your ribbons and flowers, crafty gals, ‘cause we’ve got not one, but two DIYs to share today. Design experts Lauren of Lauren Wells Events + Krissy of Pollen Floral Design met up in Boston to host a day of sipping lavender soda + snacking on lemon treats, and they taught everyone how to make a DIY salt scrub as well as pretty floral bracelets. Now, they’re showing you, too.
Thanks to Henry + Mac for the photos below:
