Article Submitted by:
Step 1 preparing the container
When you begin your arrangement, gater your materials and make sure that when you insert the green dried foam that you push it to the edges, so that it becomes tight in the vessel you are using.
Step 2 Inserting the floral media
Inserting the floral media should begin with your thicker stems first- youwant to make sure that you place them correctly the FIRST TIME or you will have holes in the foam and your pieces will slide. The filler and smaller stems are inserted last and can be moved around, so that you get the design just the way you like it.
THE SECRET Step3
This will make your arrangement really stay in place. Get some "Great Stuff" made by Dow from home depot. It is used to fill gaps mstly in pipes, etc. It comes with a nozzle applicator. Anyway, wearing gloves insert it into your container and cover with dried moss. In an hour you will have ana airtight arrangement!
