SUPPLIES & TOOLS:
DIRECTIONS:
- Wire cutters
- Waterproof floral tape
- Floral tape
- 2 large glass frosted containers
- 20 gauge wire
- Floral netting
- 4 stems greenery
- 4 stems real touch fall Peony
- 1 stem berries
- 3 stems floral, similar to Pampas grass
- 1 bunch white feather cattails
- 8 stems small real touch Dahlia & Peony
- 4 stems thistle type floral
- 1 stem purple feather type floral
DIRECTIONS:
- Separate all floral in half to make two very similar arrangements. Place into two piles on your work station. The bushes can be separated in half by removing the tape and peeling apart the stems to use in each container.
- Cut floral netting into a square large enough to cover the opening in the vase so that it hangs over the edge to slightly to fold over and become a cap like net for the top.
- This is a one-sided arrangement.
- Insert the tall larger floral first into the netting towards the back of the container. You may need to slightly trim the floral stems to your desired height.
- Add the tall greenery in the back behind the floral. Separate the greens into smaller clusters. If the greenery stems are not tall enough to reach the desired height, add some left-over stems to the greenery stems. Tape together the two stems to form one long one and insert into the netting.
- Continue adding floral to the front of the arrangement. If the stems are too short to reach the desired height, add length to the stems as described above. When the netting gets full or tight with floral stems, add to the floral length using wire and floral tape instead of left-over stems. This takes up less room and can be inserted easily into the tight netting.
- Insert all floral into the container keeping the backside free of floral. Add any extra greenery around the base of the container to cover any visible netting.
