Shades of Purple Arrangement

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Assorted floral picks
• Wire cutting tool
• Floral foam
• Galvanized metal container
• Light gray paint
• Paintbrushes
• Large knife

DIRECTIONS:

1. Begin by using a paintbrush to paint the outside surface of the galvanized metal container. Once first coat is dry, apply a second coat. Allow at least 30 minutes to dry.
2. Once paint has dried, use a large knife to cut floral foam into pieces that will fit tightly into the metal container.
3. Use wire cutting tools to trim down floral picks into smaller pieces.
4. Begin pressing stems into the floral foam, starting with the larger florals towards the center. Layer the smaller textures of florals around the large florals, and allow several stems to overflow over the edges of the container, hanging below the arrangement.
