Real flowers, of course, are very beautiful, but too delicate, they need care and attention. It is much more convenient to decorate your home with artificial flowers, they will complement the interior for a very long time, and at the same time you just need to dust them off from time to time.
It is necessary
- - Styrofoam or oasis;
- - basket, tray, pots or any other form for composition;
- - artificial flowers;
- - wire;
- - tape;
- - scissors or knife.
Instructions
Step 1
To make an arrangement of artificial flowers, first of all, select and prepare the plants. Flowers can be bought at the store or made by yourself. Remove excess leaves and twigs from the plants, divide the bouquet of several flowers into parts.
Step 2
Make the base for the composition, it is most convenient to use a special oasis for flowers or foam. Cut out the desired shape and place in a basket, in a pot, in a vase - in any shape that will blend in with the environment and flowers. You can hang the planter on the wall, in this case, prepare a frame or weave a border from the vine for the composition. If your composition will be on the table, and the bottom of the basket is narrow, consider how to make it more stable. For example, you can attach a metal plate or other heavy object to the bottom.
Step 3
Start with the tallest flowers, stick them into the styrofoam or oasis in the right place. Then move on to medium-length flowers, making sure that each flower is clearly visible and blends in with the rest. Lastly, decorate with short plants the front part and the surface of the oasis, and the base of the composition should not be visible anywhere. If, nevertheless, it is not possible to completely close the foam, cover it with pebbles, shells or sand (you can even glue it) or lay it with decorative hay.
Step 4
To make a tall bouquet for a vase, tie the selected flowers together. Grip the stem together with the end of the tape with your thumb and forefinger, and with your other hand, hold the remaining end of the tape. As you rotate the stem, wrap it with tape, gradually adding new flower heads. Then secure the tape.
Step 5
All flowers in the composition must be clearly visible, so strictly observe the levels. Decrease or lengthen the stem length as needed. To increase the length, cut a piece of wire of the required length, attach it to the flower stem and tape it with tape (if later the stem is hidden). If it will be in sight, find or make the same stem (you can cut it off from another, unnecessary or hidden flower) and fix it at the very head.
