Trish Haunton an expert at VideoJug did an amazing job demonstrating in easy to follow steps just how to create the beautiful, flower ball shown. I couldn't add it to this post but here is the link...the step by step instructions are below.
What You'll Need:
- A damp round ball of floristry foam measuring 20cm (or close to 8 inches) in diameter
- 50 Carnations (or any full-bloomed flower)
- Scissors
- Ruler
-
Types of flower
Today we are using carnations but you can use any full bloomed flower.
-
Cut Stems
Cut the stems with your scissors at 3cm. Always cut stems on an angle, to enable maximum water absorption.
-
Arrange Flowers
Starting from the top, push the stem of your first flower into the oasis, ensuring it sinks all the way into the foam base. Continue in a straight line until the ball is ringed with flowers. Then make a line halfway around and fill in the quarters. Ensure the flowers are evenly placed with no gaps.
-
Display
Gently place your ball of carnations in the middle of your table. This should make the perfect decoration for a table.
