SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
- 2 Small coral glass vases
- 1 Large coral glass vase
- 2 Bricks floral foam
- Wire cutters
- Floral tape
- 6 Hybrid Poppy Peach bush mixed
DIRECTIONS:
- For small vases:
- Separate and remove each stem from one peach Poppy bush for each vase, keeping the stems as long as possible.
- Create small bouquets by taping individual stems together to form an arrangement of flowers. If a few more flowers are needed to fill in the bouquet, remove a couple from another bush. Set the extra bush of poppies aside & use to fill in the second vase.
- When desired look is achieved, trim the stems so there is a flat bottom to sit inside the vase.
- For larger vase:
- Begin by adding floral foam to the larger vase. Be sure to cut as little as possible so the foam sits in the vase securely.
- Using the remaining three full Poppy bushes, separate and remove the stems from the main bush, keeping the stems as long as possible.
- Begin to insert the larger floral stems first to create the shape and size of the arrangement. Then add the smaller floral to fill in and add height and shape.
- Use any extra greenery to fill in around the base or to cover any foam that may be showing.
JOANN HACKS:
- If the stems for the small bouquets are not thick enough to fill in the hole of the vase, add a larger stem from another floral piece or the bottom of the Poppy bush to make it thicker. This will ensure that the bouquet stays vertical in the vase.
