Mixed Bunch of Proteas

A new option in the online store – a bright mixed bunch of Proteas!

The flowers are made up from a variety of coloured and painted recycled papers.
Each bunch consists of 7 proteas, 4 origami lilies and 5 feather leaves.

Freshly Found was delighted to donate 1 of these bunches to the Durban etsy craft party last week.

The bunch of proteas is long lasting and is great for home decor or for commercial reception areas.
The blooms have a very high recycled content and local crafters are involved in hand making them, so they have an appeal to those who are environmentally and community conscious.

A big big thank-you to all you lovely durbanites for your amazing support, and to all those that spread the word on instagram, thank-you!”
