Step By Step Flower Arrangement Guide

Now that you've selected your favorite Christmas flower ideas, you are ready to begin arranging them.

The first step is to examine each silk stem carefully. Extend the petals of each flower to create a full and natural look. The same is true of any leaves on the stems.

Next, you can arrange them in the foam.

If a particular Christmas flower is too tall, use your wire cutters to snip it to the desired length. If a flower is too short, you can lengthen the stem with floral wire and tape.

Silk Flower Arrangement - You should have a nice variety of lengths at this point, so you should be ready to insert the flowers into the floral foam. Make sure the chunk of floral foam will fit snugly into the container you have chosen.

Once you have arranged the Christmas flowers the way you want them, you are ready to set them into the container.

Gently place the foam block, with flowers inserted, into the container and affix it to the bottom with adhesive to give the arrangement stability. After that the Christmas flowers are in the container, you can fluff and arrange them a little more to get the desired look.

You can even tie a decorative bow around the container to finish off the Christmas flower arrangement.
