Extra Tips in Your Flower Arrangement Guide

If this Christmas flower arrangement is your first silk flower arrangement, here are some tips to get you started:

1. Place large filler pieces, like pine branches, at the base of the arrangement.

2. Add large flowers like poinsettias. Don't put too many, though, or your arrangement will look cluttered.

3. Medium flowers come next. This can be your berries or holly branches.

4. Any small flowers come last to fill in any gaps in the arrangement. These can be small carnations, poms, etc.

5. If you see any floral foam peeking through, make an effort to cover it with crepe paper or another small flower.

Remember, these are silk flowers. You can change them until you are happy with the look of your silk flower arrangement. Don't be afraid to take them out and move them around. You want to have fun with this, after all.

If you prefer to use dried fresh flowers, you can freeze-dry or air-dry the fresh flowers. Another method is to use silica gel or a microwave.

Keep in mind that dried flowers are far more delicate than silk flowers. Also, you will need to plan ahead because drying flowers takes time.
