IDEAS FOR HOLIDAY FLOWER ARRANGING

Holiday packages made of Rainbow Foam® will keep flowers fresh throughout your holiday party buffet.

 

          Let it spark some holiday creativity at your house!

Step-by-step directions
Click on the thumbnail photos to see larger images.

Start by selecting Rainbow Foam® bricks in colors that will match your holiday theme. Cut the bricks into a variety of sizes for the number of packages you plan to create.  Soak the cut foam until fully saturated and drain slightly.

Wrap in ribbons, aluminum wire and bullion wire.

Add colorful Lomey® Corsage pins in your choice of colors.

Cut fresh flower stems cleanly and insert in wet foam.  Only a few stems are needed per package.  Add more glitz by wrapping pieces of decorative aluminum wire around a pencil or other objects to make curlicues to add to the floral "bow".

Display your packages on a waterproof tray and add small evergreen branchlets, their ends tucked into the bottom of the foam blocks. Accent with red jingle bells or other seasonal accessories.

Water a little each day, carefully, from the top. Rainbow Foam®  will drain, so the top will dry more quickly than the bottom.
