What you will need

- Long stemmed flowers

- Floral foam

- Baskets, vases or containers

- Ribbon

- Tulle

- Floral Wire

- Hot Glue

- Knife

Select your flowers

Decide whether you want real or artificial flowers

If you choose real flowers you'll need to keep them cool and in a preservative solution.

Create your masterpiece

Use your floral foam to fill your container, then punch holes in the foam with your stems. The foam will hold your flowers in place, but wont be visible from the outside.

Arrange the flowers how you like, adding a blend of foliage throughout. Secure them in place with wire and hot glue.

Use ribbon and tulle to finish the look by wrapping it around the container.

Tips:

Always cut your stems with a knife.

Always cut your stems on an angle, and under tepid water

Be sure to trim the stems and change the water daily to keep the flowers looking their best

Always read the instructions carefully to see how much preservative solution to add to your water
