Instructions (Print version) 1. The evening before you plan to arrange your project, paint the rim around the top of the flower pot with acrylic paint and let dry. At this time, you should also apply the Floral Spray Foam to the inside of the container. Be sure to lightly mist the inside of the container with water, fill part way with the foam, repeat misting and allow foam to expand somewhat before adding more foam. Leave room for the foam to expand and let this cure 12 - 24 hours. 2. Using the Professional Grade Stem Cutter, trim your floral pieces to the desired height. For this arrangement, I wanted a symmetrical triangular design so I trimmed my floral pieces accordingly.
4. Other floral pieces can also be used to band together floral pieces or to cover staples. 5. Use the Floral Tape Dispenser to band together other floral pieces or to cover staples.
6. Begin arranging your flowers in the container with the taller pieces in the center and the smaller/shorter pieces radiating outward. Continue shaping the arrangement while keeping balance and proportion in mind.
