Choosing a bouquet
So that everything happened as conceived, it is necessary to choose the right to choose each of the "ingredients":
- Box we need empty. In this case, the perfect version will be a gift box or hat (but it should be noted right away that it will have to be purchased). If you do not want to spend money on such a thing, just take the usual box of shoes. Even the 12x12 cm box for the purpose under consideration will suit.
- The tape can be any color, but it is desirable that she, as it were, shall be the box itself. For example, if the box is white, the pink ribbon will look great; If the dark lilac, the tape is bright yellow.
- Flowers - here the option is just a million. You can use roses, chrysanthemums, chamomile, lilies and even wildflowers with decorative greens. Excellent for such bouquets are small or gypsophila carnations.
- Floral foam - for those who do not know, is such a material that is soaked with water. In order for flowers in a bouquet for a long time. You can buy it in any flower store or online store (there the price will be acceptable).
- Thick cellophan - it will be necessary for us so that the box does not park from the water that the floral foam will be impregnated. If you do not want to crush your head with the cellophane and winding the box, then just buy a paper pot in a flower shop.
Step-by-step instruction
Everything is simple enough. If you follow the instructions:
- We take the box and cut the floral foam under its size, so that it fit and not cling to the walls of the box. If a round box, then it is best to buy a round floral foam. If there is no such possibility, even the square foam is cutting (by spilling its corners).
- When you cut the foam under the size of the box, it will be necessary to impregnate it with water. We take a big bowl, fill it with water and throw this piece of foam there. You do not need to press it and pour it with water, she herself drown over time and completely soaked with water. Water should be greater than the height of the foam so that she can drown in the bowl.
- The next step is to wind the cellophane from the inside. Take a big cellophan (it should be dense) and neatly at the power of the tape pin it inside the box. So that its entire inner cavity was in cellophane packaged.
- Now we can put the floral foam in the box (which is closed from the inside cellophone).
- It's time to make the creation of a bouquet. In this case, you choose the colors you want to see in it. So, you first need to crop each flower barrel in the size of the box. Crop stands so that the colors heads are above the box. Not all trunks should be of one size, some need to do a little more, while others are slightly smaller.
- A part of the trunks that will be placed in a floral foam must be cleaned from foliage, spikes and all extra, because these parts will only interfere with creating a composition of flowers.
- Now we put each flower in the box by incoming them into the floral foam, and so that the flowers are slightly smaller at the edges, and in the middle - a little more (to form a certain hat over the box).
- It is desirable to stick flowers in a circle, starting from the edges, and smoothly move to the middle.
- You, before sticking the flowers to the box, should think about exactly how your bouquet will look like, what flower will be next to what, and what to put in the middle of the bouquet, so that he watched the completed.
- Now you need to wear a ribbon on the box, which will emphasize the originality of the composition. The methods of its tying are very much, you can view them in detail on the Internet.
- The ends of the ribbon can be cropped by the batik looks more beautiful.
Such a wonderful composition you can do on your own and without assistance. There is nothing more pleasant than creating such a wonderful composition, while saving good money.
