Arranging Your Artificial Summer Flowers
Follow a few simple steps to create summer silk flower arrangements that will perk you up every time you enter the room. While the way you arrange your artificial summer flowers will depend on the size of your planter and the silk flowers you choose, the following steps are universal:
-
Using wire cutters, trim the stems of your flowers so they'll fit into your vessel.
-
If your planter is round, create a focal point with three blossoms in the center and tape the stems together. Arrange the rest of the florals around the center and finish by adding greenery around the edges.
-
If you've chosen a container that's too short to keep the flowers upright, you can put floral foam in the bottom to hold the florals firmly in place. Be sure to lay out your flowers first, so you know where they're going before you stick them into the base. Otherwise, you risk ruining the foam before you're finished.
-
Include any decorative elements, if desired. For example, you may include an American flag in your summer flower arrangement to commemorate the 4th of July.
