Is there a more enigmatic, charming, mysterious popular flower than orchid? I am not really sure.

An orchid is an attractive flower type that has been in existence for millions of years. In modern times orchids are as common and popular as ever. Orchid flowers are very long lasting and durable that is why they are a great choice for arrangements, bouquets  as well as wearable flower accessories.

In this tutorial you will learn to make a stylised Phalaenopsis type orchid that is arranged into a silk flower necklace. Feel free to use your imagination and create a wide range of other accessories with these beautiful enigmatic flowers. Made with two layers of superior fabrics these orchids look delicate but are rather robust and long wearing.

To create the orchids you will need some millinery tools, however the shaping and assembly are relatively uncomplicated and suitable for beginners.
