Let it dry for 24 hours and then spray on a coat of clear enamel
spray. This will give your arrangement a more decorative feel.
Next, you need a base for your floral arrangements. The base is used for the flowers to have
something to anchor to. You can use a ball of willow branches, grapevine, or floral foam that you can
buy at a local craft store. The floral foam is called Oasis. If you use Oasis, be sure to soak
it in water and poke holes in it with a pen before you put flowers it so that it doesn’t break the
stems.
When cutting flowers for floral arrangements, try to do so early in the day or morning. This is
because the stems have more water in them at this point of the day and the flowers are not
drooping. Be sure to only use cold water in the flower arrangement because warm water tends to make the
flowers open up too soon and not last as long.
If you want your flowers to last longer, you can places apple and lemon wedges in the water at the
bottom of the floral arrangements.
