Beautiful Forget Me Not Crafts

A collection of beautiful Forget-Me-Not themed craft ideas.

At this time of year our garden is full of forget-me-nots. They are one of my favourite flowers, so pretty and delicate and yet so impactful en masse. They create lovely clouds of blue but when you look closely each tiny flower is so perfect. Plus once you have then you’ll probably have them forever as they are such prolific self seeders!

The forget-me-nots in our garden generally last for a month or so before they get so tatty that I pull them out and give them a good shake to seed them where I’d like next year’s plants to be (although I do realise they just go where they want to anyway!) For longer lasting Forget-Me-Nots why not try some of these craft ideas.
