Materials
Instructions
- Paint your clay pot if desired with rustic grays and greens to give it a weathered look. Be sure to paint the first inch or so on the inside of the pot too.
- Cut the floral foam block to fit the base vessel with a serrated knife.
- Set a couple of grapevine wreaths around the edge.
- Cut the flowers from the stems to fit into the foam.
- Place the flowers into the foam starting with larger flowers in the middle and work your way outwards with smaller flowers.
- Turn the arrangement around and view it from all sides. Adjust and bend the blooms and leaves as needed.
- Add pieces of moss to cover any areas that you can see of the floral foam.
Notes
- You can save some money by buying bunches of the same flower instead of single stems. This entire arrangement was made with one bunch.
- When painting your base you could use white paint and dry brush the pot for a different look.
- You can use lots of different things for the vase/base. I'm using a terracotta pot but you could use a ceramic pot or large wooden bowl. A glass bowl or low metal container would work too
- You can skip the grapevine or use other materials such as willow and bend them around the pot, secured with some wire.
- You could use hot glue or craft glue to secure the flowers and moss in place. However, you don't need to and if you don't you can easily reuse the material for a future craft.
