How to make a pack of eucalyptus shower gel to wash your face every day
For the morning-feared among us, this eucalyptus swarm fills the shower with fragrance and may be just the boost we need. Use the flowers as well as the leaves, if you can find them, as they add the tiniest bit of floral touch and color. There are three different types of eucalyptus here: Small leaf eucalyptus, real red and green gum. Including several like this adds visual interest with different textures, colors, and variety of fragrances. A storm like this will last several weeks in the shower. A few sprigs of eucalyptus hanging from the shower can be a charming surprise and a cute way to start the day. Read on to know how to make a bunch of eucalyptus lotus flowers for yourself at home.
You will need:
– 1 dozen eucalyptus branches, many varieties, some with flowers if possible
– Florist’s twine, for tying and hanging
How to make a bunch of eucalyptus lotuses:
1. Buy eucalyptus at the flower market. Before arranging, remove the leaves from the bottom part of the stem.
2. Start by placing the longer stems on the ground for easy composition and full view of the design. Layer the medium length branches on top, and finally, add flowers and shorter branches. Finish by adding in a few random stems here and there, alternating varieties of eucalyptus, so it doesn’t layer up perfectly.
3. Securely tie the bundle with twine and hang it to the shower head.
