Holiday Floral Marble Arrangements

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Wire cutters or floral snips
• Knife tool to cut foam
• Floral tape
• Floral foam
• 3 Ceramic cylinder containers (small, medium and large)
• 1 flocked Poinsettia Hydrangea Pinecone bouquet
• 8 Pine picks
• 1 flocked Rose Pinecone bouquet
• 1 flocked berry Pinecone bouquet
• 2 Holly leaves flocked berries picks
• 1 flocked Pine bush
• 2 frosted berry Pinecone Pine bush

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fill ceramic containers with foam. The last brick of foam should lay flat and fit tightly into the top of the container.
2. Insert pine picks to desired height and length for each container. This will begin to shape your arrangements.
3. Start adding floral into the pine branches. The larger floral heads should be placed toward the bottom of the arrangement and the smaller floral or berries inserted toward the top.
4. Add the pinecone pieces throughout the arrangements.
5. Add the berry stems to the arrangements. Separate the berries into individual stems, or smaller clusters so that they are scattered throughout and not too thick.
6. When using the berry Pinecone Pine bush, separate the stems from the bush, keeping them as long as possible to insert individually into the arrangement.
7. If the arrangement is a one-sided piece, fill in the backside with any leftover greens or leaves to cover the foam.

Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:

• To fit foam tightly, press the brick of foam down onto the top of the container to get an outline or shape of where to cut the foam to ensure a proper fit.
• If the stems are too short, add length by taping a piece of any leftover stem to the floral using floral tape.
• Floral tape adheres when it is pulled and twisted around the stems tightly.
