How to make flower arrangements

Have you ever wanted a tropical bouquet but just didnt think it was possible to make at home? Just follow these simple steps and have fun....

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• container
• oasis water foam
• flowers of your choice
• foliage of your choice
• imagination

1. 
    
   here is a cage and a oasis foam before being soaked in water.

   First get all of your needed supplies. Next cut a piece of foam to fit into your container or cage. Next submerse the cut piece of foam in water until it turns dark green. Then you will put the foam in water and you are ready to start working on your arrangement.

2. 
    
   some fern leaves inserted onto oasis in bowl holder.

   next lay the container on a table and start inserting your greenery. I usually start from one end working my way to the other end. You can also start from ends working your way in.

3. 
    
   here is a tropical arrangement with orchids, anthirums, palm leaves, and other greenery.

   next you can start adding your flowers to the arrangement. Use color and a variety of texture. This will give it the more tropical effect.

4. 
    
   this bouquet is made with a hanging cage.

   Now look at your piece, if you have empty spots, look if its missing a flower or more greenery and add if necessary. When you are completely finished adding flowers and your greenery, add more water.
