Trish Haunton an expert at VideoJug did an amazing job demonstrating in easy to follow steps just how to create a beautiful, flower ball. I could not add it to this post, unfortunately, but HERE is the link for you to see it for yourself and 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
Directions:
  1. Types of flower

    Today we are using carnations but you can use any full bloomed flower.

  2. Cut Stems

    Cut the stems with your scissors at 3cm. Always cut stems on an angle, to enable maximum water absorption.

  3. 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.

  4. Display

    Gently place your ball of carnations in the middle of your table. This should make the perfect decoration for a table.
