Join us as we create Victorian Christmas Ornaments inspired by Tussie Mussies!
Tussie mussies are small arrangements of flowers, greenery, and herbs that could convey complex symbolic meanings according to the botanical elements used.
The term tussie-mussie (also tussy-mussy) dates back to the reign of trend-setter Queen Victoria (1837-1901), who was fond of carrying these little floral bouquets wherever she went. When the fashion of carrying hand bouquets in decorative holders caught the fancy of the wealthy and middle class, holders were copied and mass-produced in a variety of sizes, materials, and embellishments.
All supplies will be provided.
