Cut cushion mum stems short and cover the soaked floral foam spheres.  Wrap Bindwire or Fall-Colored Aluminum Wire around your hand or a round jar until you have a significant number of strands to work with.  Wrap the end around one point in the circle and fan out strands to form an open sphere.

b.) For occasions like Thanksgiving dinner, it is smart to use less fragrant flowers and unscented candles to not distract from the food.  Pinecones and limes accent this full fall centerpiece, anchored in an OASIS® Design Ring.

The Design Ring is floral foam on a plastic base that will protect your table. It is available in three sizes.  Use Autumn flowers like chrysanthemums, arranging them in the foam, and use the center of the ring for the pinecones and limes and some beautiful Fall leaves from your garden.

Available in three sizes:

10-1/2" Design Ring 2 per package Foam: 9-1/2" D x 1-3/4" W x 2-1/8" H 6" inside open diameter

13" Design Ring  2 per package Foam: 12" D x 1-3/4" W x 2-1/8" H 8-1/2 " inside open diameter

14-1/2" Design Ring 1 per package Foam: 13-1/2" D x 2-1/4" W x 2-1/8" H 9" inside open diameter

c.) A grandiose mantel arrangement reaches tall heights with branches, vibrant lilies and roses. Rich color pops against the traditional stone hearth and secured in OASIS Floral Foam and a waterproof bowl,  flowers get the water they need for a long life without the danger of water damaging the wooden ledge.

Secure the soaked floral foam to your container with waterproof tape.  Be sure to cut your foam to extend above the rim of the container, allowing you to place stems horizontally for the line that will accent your mantel.
