Christmas Floral Box
Christmas is a special time of the year.
The shops are filled have wonderful displays with beautiful Christmas Decorations.
Garlands, sparkling glass baubles, tinsel, ornaments, luxurious ribbons
can all be used in floral designs to convey the magic of
Christmas.
The children are excited are Santa Claus is coming to visit them.
It's always a lovely time to celebrate with family and friends.
In this floral design, a wooden crate with white orchids, freesias and red roses and a bottle of wine makes a stylish gift.
If you prefer, instead of a bottle of wine, you could use a box of chocolates.
A vine heart and looped silver beads gives a decorative finishing touch.
Method
This box has open sides and is lined with moss for a natural look.
If the box you are using does not have open sides, you can ignore this step.
Cut a piece of clear plastic (a plastic bag will do) the size of the base of the box and place it in the bottom.
Position the vine heart in the box.
Use plastic containers such as Chinese take away containers to place the flowers in and position them in the box.
Place the bottle of wine in the box.
To hold everything firmly in position, place moss around the containers and the bottle.
Fill each container three quarters of the way with water.
Cut the flowers of choice to the desired length and place them in the containers having the tallest ones at the back.
Glue a broken terra cotta pot plant in front to give more texture and add to the natural look. (you can skip this step if you want to.)
Insert pieces of foliage extending out around the edges to soften the edges.
Fold the silver beads into loops and wire them with 22 gauge wire and insert the wire ends into the front of the arrangement.
Spray lightly with water.
This floral design is briefly explained. In the Floristry Diploma Course, we explain each lesson in detail. For each lesson there are step by step instructions with diagrams, measurements on how long to cut each stem, exactly where to position each one and a colour photo for each completed design.
By enrolling in the Floristry Diploma Course you will learn how to create beautiful floral designs the easy way.
